Cheers to 35 Years!

Happy New Year!

2023 marks the 35th anniversary of The Mustard Seed of Central Florida! Each year, The Mustard Seed helps rebuild the lives of those who have experienced homelessness, personal tragedy, or natural disaster, by providing gently used furniture and clothing to those in need.

What started as a little seed of faith founded out of a garage has turned into a vibrant 20,000 sq ft. warehouse of transformation, providing those in crisis with dignity, stability, and hope. Throughout this year, we will be sharing fun facts and exciting agency updates, and asking for you to share your favorite Mustard Seed stories!

To share memories on social media, use the #TMS35yearsandGrowing, and follow along on our social channels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn to share in the celebration!
