Breaking Down the Walls

For 35 years, the James B. Sanderlin Neighborhood Family Center has been a place where children and families have found hope, opportunity, and the support they need to thrive. Now, we invite you to help us celebrate the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

Join us as we officially break ground on our new Education and Social Service Center, a transformational investment in the future of South St. Petersburg.

This is more than a construction project. It is a celebration of the thousands of children and families whose lives have been changed through education, literacy, family support, and community partnerships. Together, we are breaking down the walls that have limited opportunity and building a stronger future for generations to come.

• Groundbreaking ceremony for our new Education and Social Service Center

• Remarks from community leaders, elected officials, project partners, and supporters

• A ceremonial first demolition of the existing facility

• Recognition of our sponsors and community partners

• Opportunities to learn about the vision for the new Center

• Refreshments and fellowship following the ceremony

This event is free and open to the community.

Please register so we can plan seating, refreshments, and accommodations.

We look forward to celebrating this historic milestone with you as we begin building a brighter future together.

As we celebrate this historic milestone, we invite you to invest in the future of the James B. Sanderlin Neighborhood Family Center. Your support will help us build a new Education and Social Service Center where children and families can continue to learn, grow, and thrive for generations to come.
