With sorrow, we share that former FLDC CEO Steve Cleveland passed away today. He believed in “a hand up, not a handout” and launched Adopt-a-Block in 2014. Please pray for his loved ones. “The greatest among you will be your servant.” —Matt 23:11

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18 Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by serving others with compassion, justice, and love in action. We continue his legacy by meeting needs and uplifting our community—together.

🙏 Join the FLDC Prayer Team! 🙏 Every Saturday morning, our Prayer Team goes out into the community—visiting motels, hotels, and meeting with our unhoused neighbors—bringing hope, encouragement, and prayer to those who need it most. ❤️

🌻🎂 Happy Birthday, Angel! 🎂🌻 Today we’re celebrating Angel, our wonderful Walk-In Coordinator and the bright, welcoming smile our clients see the moment they step into the Florida Dream Center. 💛 Her kindness and warmth set the tone for everyone who walks through our doors.

Gratitude is overflowing here at Florida Dream Center! 💙 Thank you to the Pinellas Community Foundation for the support that touches every corner of our mission. This support keeps food on the table, jobs within reach, families stronger, and neighborhoods thriving.
