What an incredible day at the Edna W. Runner Education Center!
A heartfelt thank you to Signature Barber Academy, the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County , Velocity Community Credit Union, Palm Beach County Office of Community Revitalization, the PBSO - Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, and every volunteer and community partner who helped make our Annual Back to School Bash such a success.
Because of your generosity and support, we were able to provide more than 250 backpacks filled with school supplies to local students as they prepare for a new school year. Seeing the smiles on our children’s faces and the excitement from families reminds us what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose.
To everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported this event, thank you for investing in our students and helping them start the school year with confidence. We are grateful to have such an amazing community standing beside us.
Together, we are making a difference, one student at a time. 💙💚📚🎒
Congratulations to Miss Felder on the ribbon-cutting ceremony for her new Habitat for Humanity home! 🎉🏡
Today is a reminder of why we do this work.
We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our Edna Runner Education Center families as they received the keys to their new home through Habitat for Humanity.
Homeownership is more than just a house. It represents stability, hope, opportunity, and a brighter future. We are honored to walk alongside families as they work toward their goals, and today we celebrate this incredible milestone with them.
Congratulations on this well deserved achievement. Your Edna Runner family is cheering you on, and we cannot wait to see all that the future holds.
Healthy families build stronger communities. 💚
