Key to Empowerment Life Church Largo Homeless Outreach Ministries
We are Christians dedicated to helping people in our community who are less fortunate. Empowerment comes when basic needs are met. We aim to address medical and mental health needs, as well as food and shelter.
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me."
Matthew 25:35
