Talbot House Ministries, the most comprehensive homeless services provider in Polk County, is thrilled to announce the purchase of the former Salvation Army facility in Winter Haven, Florida. This exciting development will allow Talbot House to expand its services and create a dedicated center for women and children experiencing homelessness.
“The opening of this new center for women and children represents a significant milestone in the efforts to reduce family homelessness and support the wellbeing of children experiencing housing instability. It will be Talbot House Ministries’ first program dedicated to serving homeless families through emergency shelters. We are deeply committed to serving the most vulnerable in our community, and this new center will allow us to provide critical support to women and children facing homelessness,” said Maria Cruz, Executive Director of Talbot House.
In the first phase, we do not envision taking male residents. If we come across an intact family, we will be sending any male over the age of 18 to Lakeland headquarters for a residential bed.
