About

Our Mission To help those in need to transform their lives by providing food, crisis care, opportunities for education and employment, and a hand up to families, individuals and children who are fighting to break the cycle of poverty. Our Vision is to See Every need met Every spirit lifted Every stomach filled Every broken heart comforted Every child’s dream realized History Community Food & Outreach Center is the outcome of a journey involving two compassionate men in two different parts of Florida who share a deep commitment to serve the communities that they live in. In 2001 Scott George had a sudden realization as he drove home from the Orlando church where he pastored. His commute took him through some of the most impoverished neighborhoods in Orlando and he simply felt compelled to do something, really do something, to help break the cycle of poverty, provide hope to those that struggle and elevate the foundation of his community. Pastor Scott and his wife Tammi put everything they had into making that vision a reality and the Destiny Foundation was born, just days before the September 11th attacks. The Destiny Foundation served thousands of Central Florida families and children with programs to fight hunger and assist those facing crisis in their lives. In the meantime, Austin Hunt and his wife Ginny, who call Vero Beach home, were experiencing their own journey of faith. Both Austin and Ginny had experienced the realities of growing up in homes that struggled financially. It was this journey through life’s challenges that gave them the passion to help hose needing a compassionate hand to guide them to a future of hope and stability. And so, in 2003 the Hunt’s founded Harvest Food & Outreach Center in the Treasure Coast of Florida. In the Fall of 2009, Austin and Scott joined forces in an effort to provide more services to a greater number of families, children and individuals struggling under the pressure of the recent economic firestorm. In October 2009 with the support of parent entity, Kingdom Harvest, Scott George founded a new organization, Community Food & Outreach Center, to provide food and hope in Central Florida.
