JFC is a faith-centered senior living community and nonprofit serving multiple generations since 1892

In the late 1880s, Juliette Peak Fowler dreamed of building a facility to care for aged and orphans. She traveled throughout the country researching social service facilities, but died before launching her dream. Her will specified that 15 ½ acres of East Dallas land that she had purchased and a trust fund she had established were to be used for the benefit of widows and orphaned children. Through

this act of benevolence, Juliette has been identified by The Dallas Morning news as Dallas' first major philanthropist. Her sister, Sarah Peak Harwood fulfilled Juliette's dream and chartered The Juliette Fowler Home for Children and the Aged in 1892 as a nonprofit in the state of Texas. In 1903, she created a formal association with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a relationship that remains in tact today. The first home for children, opened in 1904 in Grand Prairie. Harwood Hall, the first permanent structure on the East Dallas property, began housing elders in 1911. In 1913 the children's program moved to the East Dallas location, thus fulfilling Juliette's vision for an intergenerational community. Juliette Fowler Communities' services have grown and evolved as the needs of society have changed. Today Juliette Fowler Communities includes twenty five acres, more than 150 team members, and serves more than 450 children, youth, and elders annually from the East Dallas location at 1234 Abrams.

More than 97 residents, team members, and friends gathered for our Juneteenth celebration yesterday, and what made the day especially meaningful was how many people helped bring it to life. ❤️

Residents and staff worked together to plan the event, share the story of Juneteenth, prepare food, and create a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy.

There was music, great food, and plenty of conversation. Most importantly, there was connection.

As Pam, our Inclusion & Belonging Committee Chair, shared: "Invitations become connections, and connections become belonging."

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth and the opportunity to continue building communities where everyone is welcomed, valued, and belongs.

A huge thank you to Deloitte and the Dallas County Master Gardeners for another incredible Impact Day at Fowler this past Friday. 💙🌎

More than 95 volunteers from Deloitte, the Dallas County Master Gardeners, and our own resident volunteers spent the day making a difference across campus.

Despite a rainy start to the morning, volunteers showed up ready to work, bringing energy, creativity, and plenty of fun to this year's FIFA World Cup-themed event. Volunteers could be found:

⚽ Playing games and making crafts with residents
⚽ Hosting Bingo and ice cream socials
⚽ Creating art projects in Memory Support
⚽ Washing windows and beautifying campus spaces
⚽ Helping with resident surveys and special projects
⚽ Working side by side in the gardens

The day ended with an international celebration featuring ballroom dance performances, themed food and drinks, and residents proudly representing countries from around the world.

Thank you for investing your time, talents, and hearts in Fowler. The impact of this day can be seen across our campus, but more importantly, it can be felt by the residents who call Fowler home.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💛

Difficult emotions show up for all of us in different ways and at different times. They deserve space and attention, but they don’t have to take over your entire day.

We loved this simple reminder from Inspiring Insight about small ways to pause, reset, and care for yourself in the middle of hard moments.

For additional support and resources, we also encourage exploring the work of Dr. Kristin Neff and the Self-Compassion Institute: https://self-compassion.org/

Today we honor the courage and sacrifice of those who gave their lives while serving our country. 🇺🇸

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day from all of us at Juliette Fowler Communities.
