From the President & CEO During the past year, The Sharing Center has implemented several new changes to better serve our clients: First, we expanded the hours of operation at The Oasis drop-in resource center for our homeless neighbors, allowing us to serve more homeless clients. Through partnerships forged with other agencies, we began providing mental health counseling and free legal assistance on housing and family issues to those who otherwise could not afford it. We introduced new initiatives such as Family Volunteer Night giving the opportunity for parents, grandparents, and children to serve together while strengthening their family and community ties.
Mission To provide essential resources to those in need while ensuring dignity, reflecting Christian generosity, and sharing God's love.
It truly does take a village and we are blessed by so many great partners and volunteers. On behalf of all of the families we serve, our sincere thanks for your selfless giving, whether it be in the form of financial support, volunteering, or both! We are only able to continue the compassionate work because of the dedication of our team members and loyal volunteers, each and every day, and because of the generous funds provided by our partners. As we begin our 35th year of service to families in need, within Seminole County, our sustaining partners are a constant reminder of God's everlasting kindness. Thank you for your tremendous generosity and your belief in our work. Blessings to all,
Nina Yon President/CEO
