🧡💚 Thank you, -Street-Baptist-Church-of-Jacksonville, for putting together such a wonderful hygiene drive for Daniel!

A special thank you to Pastor Terry Gore and the ladies of the WMU for thinking of our kids. Our hygiene shelves were getting pretty low, so this donation came at just the right time! These everyday essentials make a real difference for the youth we serve.

We’re so grateful you thought of Daniel and showed our kids and staff so much love. We’re lucky to have you as part of our Daniel community!

👟 Our Wraparound team was out in the community on Sunday for NAMIWalks supporting an important cause that hits close to our mission.

Hosted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), NAMIWalks raises critical funds for free local mental health programs, education, support groups, and public awareness — while working to end the stigma around mental illness.

We’re proud of our Wraparound team for showing up and supporting better mental health for our community. 🧡💚
