In 2024, donated funds will focus on The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, which is helping rebuild the lives of families and individuals who have suffered disaster or personal tragedy by providing household furnishings and clothing while being environmentally responsible to the Central Florida community.
As the only furniture and clothing bank in the region, The Mustard Seed serves over 3,000 individuals annually, transforming houses into homes and giving those in need a fresh start. In addition to providing items for reuse, The Mustard Seed recycles unusable items — creating a more sustainable community. Since 2011, their innovative recycling program has deconstructed over 160,000 mattresses, repurposing components and diverting nearly 4 million cubic feet of waste from landfills, significantly reducing environmental impact.
Proceeds will empower The Mustard Seed to enhance their vital furniture program, which supplies gently used furniture to families and individuals recovering from homelessness, natural disasters or personal tragedies.
To ensure this donation has widespread impact throughout our community, Visit Orlando will also award a $3,000 donation to one local nonprofit in each of Orange County’s six commission districts that also support this cause. They include:
