Description: Saved 2 Serve is a nonprofit organization spreading hope and the love of God to North Florida’s homeless population through bi-weekly outreach events.
Saved 2 Serve was created and inspired from a mission trip to Alajuelita, Costa Rica in December of 2013. Alajuelita is one of the most poverty stricken cities in the entire country of Costa Rica. To be a part of some amazing community outreach events on this mission trip was a blessing. This mission trip took a love of helping others and completely engulfed our hearts with a yearning to do more not only in countries abroad, but right in our own backyards locally.
Upon returning from the mission trip, we asked our local team if they would like to help make some lunches to hand out to those in need. The first time out, we made 50 lunches and drove around just passing them out of our vehicle. For 2 years, we would make these meals ourselves and distribute out of a truck.
Over the course of the 3 years or more, our group has been blessed with growth to provide 700 meals monthly adding essential items like clothing, shoes, and hygiene items during our bi-weekly Street Friend Outreach Events. During the summer months, we provide ice cold towels and icey-pops, and anything to help cool in the hot Florida summers. During the winter, we provide blankets and sleeping bags.
