Our Story
Our name comes from one of the most iconic stories in the Bible. When the giant Goliath was terrorizing the Israelite army and no soldier dared to fight him, a young shepherd named David stepped forward with nothing but a slingshot and his faith in God β and changed everything. He saved an entire nation with one small, courageous act.
The problem of homelessness can feel like a giant β overwhelming, entrenched, impossible to defeat. But we believe that every MRE handed out, every bottle of water shared, every moment of human connection is a stone from the sling. One by one, these small acts of faith add up to something extraordinary.
We started with nothing but a mission and a belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Before we were even formally incorporated as Sling of David INC., we were already on the streets of Pinellas County, feeding people and handing out water. Because the need doesn't wait β and neither do we.
