We Have A New Classroom

Our new classroom for 2-year-old children is open at our St. Helen’s Head Start Center in Gifford. Unlike our Head Start program for children age 3-5, our “Early Bird” Program is 100% locally funded. We would like to thank our funders for investing in the early childhood education of these beautiful young children. Program funders are: United Way of Indian River County, John’s Island Community Service League, Grand Harbor Community Outreach, Hauser Family Foundation (Pat & Skip Hauser), The Educational Foundation of America, PNC Foundation, and Indian River County Childrens’ Services Advisory Committee (CSAC). We thank you! The children thank you! The families thank you!

All donations collected today will directly support our Father Engagement Initiative.

Adopt A Class at Head Start for the Christmas Season

Christmas is quickly approaching, and like every year, we are humbly reaching out for the community’s support.  Partner with us once again; Adopt-A-Class for the Holiday Season!  As always, your continued support in all we do speaks to your commitment to this agency, the children and families we serve, as well as, your spirit of generosity.  Sponsor a child for $20.00, and/or an entire Head Start classroom with $400.00 for holiday toys. With so many changes currently taking place in our communities, your commitment will be a true blessing this Christmas.
