Every day a family or individual experiences hardships. Rent or utility increases, sickness or death, unemployment or homelessness are life-changing events that are never planned or welcomed, but there is help and hope.
The Neighborhood Center of South Lake (TNC) is a designated 501c3 organization and operates entirely on donations. Time, Talent, and Treasure are equally important to fulfill our mission. 75% of all the food we provide to families is donated by our Grocery Alliance Partners, Second Harvest Food Bank, Community Partners, Small Businesses, and Individuals; the rest we must purchase.

Community Partners
– Mahatma Gandhi
Our Community Partners represent clubs, neighborhoods, and organizations who believe as we do, that No One Should Go Hungry. They join together to raise money and organize a food drive, event, or volunteer group to support the Neighborhood Center. TNC clients benefit from their efforts, but each group enjoys benefits too; camaraderie, fun times, and a united purpose. Whether organizing a food drive or fundraiser or investing in our mission through community grants, we are fortunate to be the chosen non-profit of these incredible partners. Thank You!

To discuss a partnership plan for your company with the Neighborhood Center of South Lake.
Hunger knows no boundaries – it touches every community. Every day more of our neighbors have to make the difficult choice of purchasing food for their family or paying for other needs including insurance, rent, utilities, medicine and more. Your donation of food and monies helps The Center provide food security for thousands of children, adults, seniors and veterans each month.
For every dollar donated, we can provide a family with enough groceries for 10 meals including fresh produce and bread. Your cash donation not only provides food security to more than 1,500 families each month, it provides hope.
Food donations are equally important for our neighbors in need. To learn more about making a food donation or organizing a food drive, please click here.

Faith Partners
– Mother Teresa
Over five decades ago, a very special group of six women from First United Methodist Church of Clermont were volunteering in their church and decided they could do more to help our neighbors in need.
Their compassion and kindness started this mission of care that continues today. Our many Faith Partners are an important part of their legacy, helping The Center serve the most vulnerable through donations, food drives, volunteering and referrals about our programs.
TNC nourishes the South Lake community by providing anyone in need with the necessary resources to improve lives by honoring the dignity and diversity of each client, volunteer,
and community partner.
