Formerly Homeless Receive Welcome Home Kits




For the first time in local history, on Aug. 13th the Orlando-area Bishop’s Storehouse of the Church of Latter-day Saints (LDS) opened its doors to the media as it launches the “Make It A Home” program for homeless individuals.

Through “Make It A Home,” LDS leaders and community volunteers assemble and deliver “Welcome Home” kits of food, hygiene and cleaning items to newly housed homeless individuals

In partnership with the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness (co-chaired by Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs), the faith community is mobilizing to help put homeless veterans, individuals and families on a path of hope and stability.

Move-in kits are vital for formerly homeless individuals, who are not able to provide basic necessities. The goal of showcasing the “Make It A Home Program” and Maxwell Terrace location is to spur other faith communities to develop similar programs, in partnership with the CFCH.
