Community Services/Non-Profits in Port St. Lucie, FL

“Calvary PSL is an amazing Church. If you’re looking for the truth and knowledge about the Bible, this is a place to come. Pastor Mike Wiggins is very knowledgeable and is a great teacher.. every time you attend a service you will walk away with more knowledge than before. Please come to worship, service and fellowship in the courtyard. Hope to see you soon.”

“This thrift store is operated by the Mustard Seed Ministries which was founded in 1986 by a group of local churches that got together to pool their resources. Their name comes from the bible verse Matthew 17:20, Jesus said, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

The Mustard Seed Ministries mission is "to coordinate the energies of the Christian churches of St. Lucie County to meet the spiritual and material needs of the whole person and to make referrals to all available relief agencies in our community to take care of those in need". According to their website their "services include assistance with food insecurities, past due utilities, rent/mortgage payments, furniture, transportation/travel, emergency shelter, prescriptions, medical equipment, clothing, gasoline, medical care vouchers and many case-by-case interventions. As part of our food program, we implement a summer food program for school children who receive free/reduced meals during the school year; operate a Community Bucket Garden and an annual Community Thanksgiving Feast."

For more than 3o years the Mustard Seed Ministries has been using a grass roots model to meet the needs of the community holistically. They are supported by hundreds of volunteers and community members who administer 17 programs and services available to individuals and families in St. Lucie County. They also operate a food pantry at their thrift store and provide medical education. Proceeds from this thrift store and the one in Ft. Pierce raise funds for their programs.

The thrift store receives donations from businesses and the local community. They sell art, small appliances, clothes, furniture, accessories, and household goods. They sell a varied selection of items and prices are inexpensive. Strangest item found here this trip, a very serious portrait of Fred J Ball. Who was Fred and how did he end up here? I have so many questions but he is keeping watch on the store. So many cool treasures here. You can donate and shop in confidence knowing you are supporting one of the worthiest charities in St. Lucie County.”

“They told me 2 years ago that I had to buy $20 worth of drinks to play BINGO there.I can't give it a review cuz I don't want $20 worth of drinks to meet people like me drinking up their profits. Haha.”

“I love this place. Everybody is so kind and generous.

I bought five dresses two pairs of sandals that were almost brand new for my trip to Jamaica.

They informed me that they don’t pick up donations for furniture. You need to drop them off. It’s sad that people donate to Goodwill But there is always habitats for humanity when it’s crowded

The staff is always friendly and patient God bless them all”
