Serving With Love
100 years strong
The Caring Place has served the South Florida community with love and compassion for 100 years. As a not for profit 501 (c) (3) organization, the services provided are made possible through the grace of God and generosity of donors who care for our most impoverished men, women and children.
At The Caring Place centers, Miami Rescue Mission and Broward Outreach, men’s lives are restored, women and children are rescued from abuse and meals are provided for those in need of a helping hand.
