About us
Family has always been at the heart of Eckerd Connects. When we were founded in 1968 by Jack and Ruth Eckerd, the legendary power couple was often asked what motivated them to start a non-profit in rural Florida. Their answer was always the same, “It’s the kids.” Today those words still hold true – but much like other families, ours has grown. Over five decades later with a presence in 20 states and the District of Columbia, our family of services has expanded to include Job Corps, workforce development, aid for the homeless, transitional services for troubled youth, prevention services, and so much more. To learn more visit www.eckerd.org. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @eckerdconnects and “like” us on Facebook at facebook.com/eckerdconnectsus.

When 18-year-old Derrick had to leave a job because the🚌 bus system didn’t run during his overnight shift, he realized he needed help. Having successfully completed the Eckerd Connects’ Project 🌉Bridge Program in 2023, he knew he could come back and get the support he needed. Derrick has stayed crime free and used what he learned in Project Bridge to make better choices. He lives with his sister with a goal to be on his own soon, hopefully with a 👨🏾🎓high school diploma and new full-time job. The Project Bridge team is actively helping him. Now, thanks to Eckerd Connects’ Success Awards, Derrick has a new 🛴scooter to get to work and 💻laptop to help him with his studies. The Project Bridge team was able to enroll him in a Hybrid GED program that will allow him to work full-time. This determined youth is gaining confidence. “Receiving the scooter eliminates any transportation concerns of mine and will allow me to work a job that may be more than 5 miles from where I am currently living. Thank you.” #PoweredbyEckerdConnects #EckerdConnects #SuccessAwards #SuccessStory
