💚🪞 JUST TWO WEEKS UNTIL THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS!

Behind every family experiencing homelessness is a story. A mother working toward a fresh start. A child who deserves to feel safe. A family searching for stability and a place to call home.

At Talbot House Ministries, these are the lives we work to impact every day. Our Women & Children Center helps families take meaningful steps toward independence through shelter, resources, and supportive services.

On November 17, we’ll come together for Through the Looking Glass: Finding Home, an evening dedicated to supporting this important mission.

Your generosity helps turn uncertainty into opportunity and gives families the support they need to build a better tomorrow.

✨ Two weeks until we gather for a cause that truly matters.

Faith becomes visible when we come together to serve. 🧡

Talbot House Ministries of Lakeland was honored to participate in Victory Church Lakeland Florida, 2026 World Missions Conference, joining ministry partners whose work brings the love of Christ to people locally and around the world.

Thank you, Victory Church, for recognizing the mission happening right here in our community and providing an opportunity to share it.

Since 1979, Talbot House has served thousands of neighbors facing homelessness and hardship. Through Safe Housing, nutritious meals, healthcare, recovery support, and pathways to stability, we put faith into action—meeting people with compassion, dignity, and hope.

That mission expanded in September 2025 with the opening of our Talbot House Ministries Center for Women & Children in Winter Haven. In its first year, the Center served 180 individuals, including 106 children, providing safety and support as families worked toward a place to call home. A remarkable 86% of housing success rate, was achieved during the first year.

Churches across our community help make this work possible. Through prayer, volunteering, giving, and faithful service, congregations stand beside us and remind our neighbors that they are loved and never forgotten.

A special thank-you to our dear Virginia, a faithful Victory Church member and Talbot House’s Executive Liaison. Your dedication, loving heart, and commitment to connecting faith with service are a blessing to our ministry and the people we serve. We are deeply grateful for you! 🧡

To Victory Church and every church that partners with Talbot House: thank you for answering the call to serve. Together, we are helping lives find hope.
