Fighting Hunger and Homelessness in Jacksonville by combining compassion with community, creating lasting change where it’s needed most.

Jacksonville is making meaningful strides in the fight against homelessness. While this progress is encouraging, many individuals and families in our community still face the daily realities of housing instability and hunger.

What Sets Foodies Care Apart

At Foodies Care, we believe food is more than sustenance—it’s a pathway to compassion, dignity, and human connection. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to support the organizations already doing incredible work in our community.

Jacksonville is home to many outstanding nonprofits, including 6:8 Ministries, Mission House, City Rescue Mission, Trinity Rescue Mission, Sulzbacher Center, Feeding Northeast Florida, The Salvation Army and many more. These organizations offer vital services across a wide range of needs, but some programs face limited resources, understaffed teams, and minimal marketing support. As a result, they struggle to reach the people who need them—and the donors who want to help.

That’s where Foodies Care steps in. We raise awareness and gather financial and in-kind resources to complement and amplify the efforts of organizations making an impact—helping them reach more people, more effectively, every day.
