Each day the children and teens of the Boulevard Townhomes and Mineral Springs Village come to the Learning Center for help that reaches far beyond homework. They come needing clothing, food, shoes, and other things. Our ability to respond to these needs is dependent on the generosity of our friends who make large and small monetary and material contributions.
On this page we would like to recognize "our friends" and encourage those reading this page to support them.
