Making a difference in the lives of
at risk children in Seminole County is
the legacy Leadership Seminole Classes
15 and 16 have chosen. They are making
great progress in their attempts to
refurbish and update the residential
facilities that have housed more than
14,000 children in the last 20 years.
Work has been completed on the second
home and is underway on the third home.
How You Can Help
1. Calling all Volunteers! -
The class is looking for volunteers
willing to roll up their sleeves and
help with cleaning, painting, tiling and
carpet demo and installation. Skilled
and unexperienced labor alike will make
a tremendous impact in the lives of
these very deserving children. This
would be a great service project for a
church or youth group.
2. Donate Funds or Materials -
The group is seeking donations for thin
set, grout, carpet , and paint. For more
information contact Colleen Hufford at
(407) 699- 9194 or younghuff@aol.com.
