Mid-Year Snapshot: Stewardship in Action

As we reach the midpoint of the year, we are excited to share a few milestones made possible through your generosity and support.

This spring, we celebrated the graduation of our Pre-K students from the new Tom & Mary James Children's Services Center Discovery Learning Center (read more below). Even more exciting, we have experienced an overwhelming response from families throughout our community seeking services for their children. The need continues to grow, and this center is allowing us to reach more children and families during one of the most critical stages of development.

We are also pleased to report that the Raise the Roof Campaign is now just $1,366,851 away from our $10 million goal.

In addition, we are preparing to break ground on a new commercial kitchen that will provide meals for the children and adults who learn, live, and thrive at Parc each day. This project is partially funded through an appropriation from the State of Florida, with the remaining support coming from charitable contributions.

These accomplishments are possible because of philanthropy. Every day, lives are being changed through the generosity of our community. Thank you for helping make this progress possible.

We invite you to continue the momentum by making a gift or sharing these impact updates with your family and friends. Together, we are building a stronger future for the children and adults we serve.

There wasn't a dry eye in the room as our Discovery Learning Center VPK graduates proudly crossed the stage, surrounded by the families, teachers, and supporters who helped them reach this milestone. Their smiles said it all.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. We couldn't be prouder of the incredible journey ahead of you.
