About Us

People helping people helping people: that’s Lake Wales Care Center’s function, purpose and reason for being.

Like most American towns, Lake Wales has people in need. For a variety of reasons, they may need food, clothing, medical help, shelter, homebound care, or a mentor. In addition to the many needs of people in Lake Wales, 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. These people 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 by 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!

In 2026, Lake Wales Care Center celebrates 41 Years of service to the community.
