Celebrating 34 Years of Compassion

On October 19th, 2023, Resurrection House began its 34th year of operation. What started as a Vestry project at Church of the Redeemer in 1985, became a reality in October 1989 when six Sarasota downtown churches came together to form what is now the Resurrection House.

The first couple of years were spent in one room in the old Salvation Army building on 4th street. A small building on 6th street was quickly followed by the present location at 507 Kumquat Court.

Resurrection House owes its existence and success to the many donors, churches and foundations that believe in its mission of helping the homeless. Having never taken funding from the city, county, state or federal government allows the staff the freedom to make immediate decisions to aid those most in need.

Happy Birthday Resurrection House.
