Helping Our Neighbors in Need
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.
Donate Today
Because no one should go hungry!
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.
Please give today because no one should go hungry! Thank you!

Corporate Partners
When your Company (big or small) partners with the Neighborhood Center, you not only align with a respected and credible nonprofit organization, but also South Lake County’s largest food pantry. Our Corporate Partnership packages are designed to help meet the goals of both the Center and the Company with benefits that support the Company’s ROI as well as team building (e.g., work parties). Let us develop a partnership for your company.
Faith Partners
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.
