AN OVERVIEW OF CAMILLUS HOUSE
For more than 64 years, Camillus House has provided material
aid and hope to Miami-Dade County's hungry and homeless. The
seed that became this ministry was planted in 1960 with a
small act of kindness: Brother Mathias Barrett gave a
hungry, newly arrived Cuban exile a bowl of cornflakes and
milk.
In the more than six decades since, our ministry has
flourished, bringing help, hope, healing, community, and
dignity to hundreds of thousands in need. Today, as the
largest and one of the oldest service providers caring for
the homeless in South Florida, Camillus still provides more
than 1,000 meals daily to the hungry. But that is only the
beginning.
Camillus House is now the most broad-based homeless services
provider in our community, helping the poor and vulnerable
not only with food and shelter but with clothing, job
training, counseling, medical assistance, and other tools
that help rebuild broken lives. We seek in all our works to
keep alive the spirit of compassionate service that marked
Camillus from the start.
