The mission of Saint Laurence Chapel is to proclaim God's love for people who are hungry and homeless by providing help and hope in a non-judgmental environment. We fulfill our mission by collaborating, developing partnerships and working with community organizations and churches across non-denominational lines in Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties.
Through these churches and organizations we empower people who are homeless and hungry to become self-sufficient and help them to fulfill their basic needs by using a holistic approach.
