Holiday Wishes: A Season of Giving

Thank you for making the holidays brighter for families across Pinellas County! Through your generous support of our Holiday Wishes initiative, we brought holiday magic to 407 client families in Healthy Start, Parents As Teachers+, 1st 000 Days Pinellas, and our Doula program.

Together, we accomplished something remarkable: we delivered over $60,000 worth of gifts to families with the help of more than 85 volunteer hours from dedicated community members. Your compassion and generosity made this possible. Thank you for spreading cheer for our client families during this special season.

Voice for Florida’s Families

The 2026 Legislative Session reconvened this week, and we’re grateful for the continued support of Healthy Start programs throughout Florida. The Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions (FAHSC) recently honored our local Senator Darryl Rouson, along with Senator Trumbull in the panhandle, for championing babies and new parents through increased funding.

We wish our legislators a successful session that creates positive impact for families across our community.
