Who
are we? Walk of Faith Community Center
is faith based charity serving the west side of Cleveland. We offer a variety of services to the community throughout
the year. What is our Mission? To provide individuals, families and communities with resources and services
to enhance their quality of life and thus embody the unconditional love of Christ.
Do you have to be a Christian to use our services ? Absolutely
NOT! Our services are available to all. We are here for the entire community and do
not discriminate based on religion, race, age, sex, or marital status.
What are your requirements?
Based on our resources we serve only the 44111 & 44135 communities at this time. Our services
require you to show proof of residency. Since we are partners with the Cleveland Foodbank, it is required that
you meet the Federal Poverty Guidlines (FPG) as well. If you live outside these areas or do not fit the FPG , please
contact United Way's First Call for help. You may either dial 211 on a landline phone or on the web at www.211cleveland.org. They can direct you to services in your area. What

center as well. Open Wednesdays from 6:30-8pm excluding holidays. Food

foods, frozen foods, bakery items, fresh produce and toiletries. Open every Weds from 6-8pm. Doors open at 5:30p
and we start serving at 6pm. You may come once every 4 weeks and must live in 44111 & 44135 areas. ***You can NOT participate in both programs the same night. You must alternate your nights at

For when I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty,
and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing,
I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me... Matthew 25
