Community Resource Network

Community Resource Network is a network of collaboration among churches and faith organizations which supports the region's response to housing instability, complementing the work of local governments and nonprofit agencies who serve those living without a home. Alongside organizations like the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness and Homeles... s Services Network, this network can play a vital role in the regional mission to make homelessness rare, brief and one-time. Every partner in the faith community, large and small, has something to offer in this effort meeting needs with tangible resources like food or clothing, or going deeper to walk alongside in a much more intentional manner. With the faith community's support emotional, spiritual and relational needs are addressed. Together we can multiply our efforts by identifying and cataloguing the unique resources each congregation has within the network. Through the network we can work together to create holistic care plans for families, emphasizing our passion for restoration through meeting concrete needs, relationship building and community connection. Perhaps the way we can best help is not through the stuff we give, but through the hope we offer. Prayer, hope and encouragement are extended in the context of relationship and community. The resources people need are embedded in the faith community.Read More
