About Us
People helping people helping people
Our Mission!
Lake Wales Care Center is a faith based community service organization which demonstrates Christ’s love by building bridges between people in need and people with a desire to serve.
People helping people helping people. That’s Lake Wales Care Center. That’s its function, purpose and its reason for being.
Like most American towns, Lake Wales has people in need. For whatever reason, they need food, clothing, medical help, shelter, homebound care, or a mentor. Lake Wales also has some very compassionate people. We have people who are able to help, and who recognize and honor the Biblical instruction to help a neighbor in need. They are willing to give generously of their time, resources, talents and expertise.
Between these two groups, there exists a wide gulf. How does one group reach the other without the risk of lost time, wasted resources, and misplaced effort? That is where Care Center functions; bridging the gap, and enabling one group to reach the other. Care Center staff and volunteers give of their time and talents in a most practical way; they become the PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE!
Lake Wales Care Center is currently celebrating our 37th Anniversary. For more information call our main office at 863–676– 6678.
Lake Wales Care Center is a Nonprofit 501(c)(3) Organization. Lake Wales Care Center is an Equal Opportunity Provider.
