Join us on Friday, October 24, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Orlando as the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida marks 32 years of commitment to ending homelessness in our community. This milestone event is more than a luncheon — it’s a call to action. As housing prices remain unaffordable for thousands of Central Florida families and individuals, we invite you to stand with us in support of those working every day to bring safety, stability, and dignity to our most vulnerable neighbors. 

We’re honored to welcome Jesse Leon, author of I’m Not Broken, whose extraordinary life story speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community. His keynote will challenge and inspire us to do more — and to do it together.

The program will be hosted by Orlando Sentinel columnist Scott Maxwell and will include the presentation of the third annual Thomas C. Chatmon Jr. Community Champion Award, celebrating vision and devotion in the fight to end homelessness. Your presence helps fuel the mission and amplifies the message that everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
