The Poverello Center, Inc. is a volunteer-driven nonprofit in South Florida that supports people living with critical and chronic illnesses, including HIV, by providing nutritious food, essential living items, and related services. Founded in 1987 and based in Wilton Manors, Florida, the organization operates a food pantry and thrift store to meet clients' material needs. Beyond groceries and clothing, it offers access to a full-service gym and a range of wellness services—such as chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and haircuts—at no cost through supporters and volunteer providers.

The center relies on hundreds of volunteers who assist with writing client orders, packing groceries, sorting and stocking donated items, and coordinating fundraising and awareness events. A standard grocery bag prepared for clients contains about 28 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables and enough other items to provide 21 meals or a week's worth of food. The organization has engaged in community partnerships, and a notable recent development involved Missoula Parks partnering with the center in late 2023 to host a memorial service for individuals who died while unhoused.
