About 150 people a day come through our doors 365 days a year, men and women of all races, all ages and even parents with young children. They come from many walks of life, some working their way back from personal setbacks, some struggling with disabilities and addictions and newcomers signing up for the first time. Some are on disability or retirement benefits and trying to manager their limited finances. Many are veterans, wearing caps or shirts indicating their past service in the armed forces. A few come leaning on aluminum walkers for assistance and even occasionally in a wheelchair. Often middle-aged or older, many of our clients are working at improving their lives. Some take classes at nearby St. Petersburg College’s Clearwater campus and at other schools. Several work intermittently at construction jobs, some do house painting and others do janitorial or maintenance work.
