Giving Back to the Community

North Port and Port Charlotte Loveland Centers are proud to volunteer their time and resources to help the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition. Every week, our dedicated participants collect donated food from the newly opened Wawa store located at 14560 Chancellor Blvd in Port Charlotte and deliver it to the Homeless Coalition food pantry at 1476 Kenesaw Street. By doing so, we are able to assist the Homeless Coalition in their mission to provide emergency shelter and food, as well as essential services such as utilities and transportation to local residents in need. We are honored to be a part of this important initiative and look forward to continuing our partnership with the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition.

Center Spotlights

Meet Krista who attends our North Port location. Krista has gained more independence in making choices throughout the day, and with socializing and communicating with peers and staff. When Krista started she was shy and quiet and always said no to going out of the program and into the community. She now goes into the community with a smile on her face and will come back and talk about it. We are so proud of the progress she has made.

We are thrilled to share the news of Lena's remarkable progress in Port Charlotte. Lena's beautiful smile and engaging personality have won over staff and peers alike. Her improved communication skills are a testament to her hard work and dedication. Recently, we heard her lovely voice when she responded to a direct question from a staff member, and we couldn't be prouder. Lena's progress is a true inspiration, and we can't wait to see what she achieves next.

Spotlight on HERO

HERO (Helping Everyone Realize Opportunities ) North Port is proud to announce the growth and progress of Aria in the areas of personal hygiene and communication. She has started to communicate her needs more frequently and sometimes independently without staff asking. Our afternoons at HERO are filled with fun activities, fostering social skills and communication, and we are thrilled to see Aria thrive in this environment.

If you or someone you know is looking for an inclusive after-school program and is interested in learning more about HERO please email enrollment@lovelandcenter.org or call (941)493-0016.
