This partnership will bring our new CARES Program to life, creating even more opportunities to support individuals and families in our community. We are incredibly grateful to the The St. Joe Community Foundation, Inc. for investing in this vision and to Florida State University Early Childhood Autism Program (FSU-ECAP) for joining us on this journey.
