Programs
The christian service center (csc) exists to prevent and end homelessness through a comprehensive, dignity-first approach. Csc's housing program seeks to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with secure, safe, stable, and permanent housing. Through the dedicated support of our team, 791 individuals and children were assisted into permanent housing in 2025. Thanks to our supportive services for veterans and families (ssvf) initiatives, 144 veterans were rapidly rehoused and provided with case management and wraparound support services. Additionally, 329 chronically homeless individuals were extended move-in assistance, while 137 people were reunified with family via bus or airfare. Our homeless prevention program supports individuals and families facing unforeseen crises. In 2025, our team provided critical rent and utility assistance for 747 households, preventing eviction and service disconnection. The day services program provides reliable daily support for people experiencing homelessness and hardship. Highlights from this program include: 179,567 hot meals served, 7,965 vouchers for clothing issued, 2,237 bags of emergency food distributed, 1,538 visits to our…

In 2025, we served 179,567 meals across our downtown orlando and ocoee campuses, averaging nearly 500 meals a day. Meals include breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the week. Meals are cooked fresh on-site using food donated by local grocery stores, and the program is supported daily by 20-25 volunteers. Guests are served with dignity in our air-conditioned dining hall or shaded outdoor spaces. For many, daily bread is their first interaction with the christian service center, and often becomes the entry point to case management, housing support, and additional wraparound supportive services. The program operates through a highly efficient food recovery model. A dedicated driver collects food donations 5 days a week from local grocery partners and delivers the donations to both campuses. Roughly 90% of our food is donated, with primary expenses going toward transportation, pantry staples, and paper goods.

The organization over time
