Feeding the Hungry, Helping the Homeless
Founded in 2007 and located in Stuart, Florida, Love and Hope in Action (LAHIA) is organized as an independent, nondenominational church under the laws of the state of Florida, exclusively for religious and charitable purposes, and has 501(c)(3) status from the United States Internal Revenue Service. Our mission is to reach the hungry, homeless and hurting through our ministry which helps meet basic human needs to all those who come through our doors.
Our goal is to help transition those out of homelessness and provide a path and opportunity for self sufficiency. We accomplish all of this while meeting their basic physical and spiritual needs.
Mission Statement:
Demonstrating Jesus Christ’s love for the homeless and indigent by meeting their physical and spiritual needs.
Vision Statement:
We envision a community of acceptance for the homeless and indigent where they can find salvation, employment, housing and independence.
