💙 Believe in Exchange 💙

April is Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness Month across this great nation. While April may be coming to an end, our commitment to awareness and prevention never stops.

Our mission changes lives every single day—and YOUR support helps keep that mission moving forward. From youth scholarships and child abuse prevention, to patriotic programs, leadership development, and service to our communities—every dollar truly makes a difference.

The Florida District Exchange Clubs continue this vital work year-round through dedicated CAP (Child Abuse Prevention) Centers located throughout the state. These centers are making a real impact—providing hope, resources, and protection for children and families who need it most.

You can believe in the work of these centers by contributing today. Visit www.nationalexchangeclub.org to explore the many ways you can support the National Foundation.

For as little as $19 a month—or any amount you see fit—you can set it and forget it, knowing you’re helping change lives.

Small gifts. Big impact. Lasting change. 💙

Join Kathy Brown Mize and Brian Tyler Leonard, your Florida District National Foundation Trustees, in helping keep our mission strong. Because when we believe in Exchange, we believe in stronger communities, brighter futures, and In Unity for Service.

April may be coming to a close, but the mission of Child Abuse Prevention never stops. 💙
What an incredible way to wrap up Child Abuse Prevention Month! Our Florida District President, Micheal Forster, stepped into his “Spy Chef” role alongside his amazing mentee, Tania, to lead a virtual family cooking class for the wonderful moms served by the Family HOPE Center.
This wasn’t just about making a delicious meal—it was about creating connection, building confidence, sharing laughter, and reminding families they are seen, supported, and valued.
Moments like these are what Exchange is all about—service, compassion, and making a real difference right where it matters most.
A huge thank you to Micheal, Tania, and everyone involved for pouring love into our community one meal at a time. Together, we continue to strengthen families and protect our children. 💙🍽️
