Saline Soulution is a 501C3 non-profit organization comprised of a group of dedicated doctors, nurses and support staff
who volunteer each week to provide medical care and counseling to the homeless of Sarasota. We have been caring for our homeless
friends for 10 years. We have had the privilege of both literally and figuratively listening to their hearts and in the process
discovered ours. We provide medical care in a mobile medical unit. Well, technically it is an RV that has been converted for
medical purposes. We run two locations a week and provide free medical care and medications for the homeless population of
Sarasota and Tampa. Whie we have been blessed to provide medical care, we have discovered that there is something much deeper
going on. After ten years of faithfully showing up to care for these people, we have learned that the life transformation
that they need to get back on their feet is going to be through one-on-one mentoring. We are spending more time now trying
to help with social issues and personal disciplines. We have seen dramatic life change, but only after significant time has
been spent in ongoing personal interactions. We are interested in finding a location that would be easily accessible
to our homeless friends and allow our volunteers to have daily interactions with them in a "coffee shop" environment.
We are optimistic that we could transform lives if we could provide a safe environment for these types of discussions. We
have a dedicated team of volunteers who really believe that we could, with God's help, change lives and better our community.
