| Eckerd Connects E-Nini-Hassee is more than a residential treatment program for girls. And it’s also more than a boarding school or alternative school for girls. As an outdoor therapeutic school, it’s all of these — and so much more. Founded in 1969, E-Nini-Hassee is the most established and trusted outdoor therapeutic school for girls 12-18 in the southeastern United States. Located on 840 acres of tranquil Florida woodlands just one hour from Orlando or Tampa, E-Nini-Hassee is the outdoor therapeutic school of choice for many parents and professionals because of our holistic approach in addressing each girl’s mind, body and spirit through: individualized treatment plan, individualized education plan, and therapeutic outdoor adventure activities. | |

Phone: (352)228-4921 Email: [email protected] |
| Founded in 2004, We Care is an unfunded 501(c)(3) whose mission is to support our neighbors in need in every way we can. Since it’s inception, We Care has been on the front lines of hunger relief. Our trucks go out three days a week to recover food from grocery stores throughout the area, but our work doesn’t stop there. We realize that household items can sometimes double a family’s grocery bill, so we are constantly collecting laundry detergents, cleaning supplies, and hygiene products to redistribute to the community. Our new mission is to not only fight hunger in our community, but also the plight of poverty that ravages many in Citrus County. A large sector of the people we serve have full time employment but do not earn enough to take care of their family’s basic needs and we are working to fill those gaps. We are sitting down with our clients to find out what they need and to further understand the struggles they are facing. | |
