Computer Class Graduates of '21

Florida Cares has cause to celebrate! We partnered with The Reentry Center of Rivera Beach, FL to conduct a Basic Computer Skills Class.   Our first class of re-entering citizens completed their Basic Computer Skills Class  taught by our own Don Stephens II!  16 weeks and they had perfect attendance!   We took them to The Melting Pot to celebrate their accomplishments.  Congratulations to the inaugural graduating class of '21!!!

A HUGE thank you to all of you for your help in providing back to school back packs to 222 children of the incarcerated and making a positive impact on these families and their children. We've also received numerous thank you calls from the guardians.  This would not have been possible without all of you!!!

Another HUGE thank you goes to Laurette Philipsen for her tireless efforts on this project and to Catherine Ragonese who spent an entire day packing up each backpack and stuffing them with school supplies. 

An article was also written about the Back To School Drive, which in return brought in donations from the Hillsborough County Firefighters! 

We look forward to doubling the number of children next year as we continue to improve the lives of the incarcerated!
