Demonstrating Jesus Christ’s love for the homeless and indigent by meeting their physical and spiritual needs.

We envision a community of acceptance for the homeless and indigent where they can find salvation, employment, housing and independence. 

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.

LAHIA was founded on the conviction of helping those in need. Ever since our organization was established, we have endeavored to provide help where the need is greatest.

Our goal is to reduce hunger and mitigate serious health and safety risks for adults and families who are unhoused and/or indigent living in Martin County, FL. We offer a comprehensive array of programs and services to meet their basic needs and assist them with a plan to reach self-sufficiency.
