About Talbot House Ministries
Talbot House Ministries is a faith-based nonprofit organization serving individuals experiencing homelessness in Lakeland, Florida and Polk County. Founded in 1979 by St. Joseph's Catholic Church, the ministry has grown from a humble soup kitchen into the county's largest comprehensive care provider for adults experiencing homelessness. The organization provides shelter, food, healthcare, long-term residential programs, affordable housing, employment training, and free medical and mental health services through the Good Samaritan Free Clinic. Supported by multiple faith-based partners from various denominations, Talbot House works to meet the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of those they serve while facilitating long-term life renewal and helping individuals move toward self-sufficiency and dignity.
