Physical Benevolence
Any non-profit that is putting themselves in a position to really help people has to have a system. This is a summary of what we can do and the process you can expect. We do not hand out cash nor are we equipped to handle emergencies. The police and/or hospitals are where immediate emergency help can be found. Anyone planning to grab instant one time help with no accountability should reconsider us as an option. We are here to help those working towards getting through hard times and are willing to walk with you. But we expect individuals to be ready to do the work needed to improve their own lives as well. We try to work within a 10 mile radius of our building. Those in need are always encouraged to reach out locally first.
Tuesday mornings are set aside to meet with people who are willing to sit down to work on a long-term plan to improve their lives. We will do this with partnering ministries that are listed below. We will be asking some personal questions. Know when we point you somewhere, it’s the same places our own staff and members lean on for help.

CHARMS: Community Homes And Restoration Management Services, or CHARMS is a nonprofit that help offer discounted housing for the homeless.

Charms is part of our tool kit.

Feeding NE Florida: Food Sources for Northeast Florida (Please remember, food banks and non-profits work in areas or a zip code. The larger Jacksonville area is close to a two million in population, so each works their own area. This is an attempt to keep people from abusing local resource systems.
Sulzbacher: The Sulzbacher center is in downtown Jacksonville, FL. This is a hub of information if you take some time to investigate the whole of their program. Larger programs are harder to navigate, but some great upfront benefits include public showers, internet, and storage units. In order to get a job or even benefits, one must have an address. If nothing else, Sulzbacher can help you with postal needs and provide an address that enables you to take a very important first step.
