Humble, October 5, 2015
The Rotary Club of Humble presented a community gift of $10,000.00 to The Village Learning Center. The funds donated will help provide medical and transportation needs. $9000 of the gift will go to providing a vehicle that has wheel chair accessibility.
The Village Learning Center is the largest provider in the Northeast Houston area for individuals with Developmental Disabilities (IDD) serving more than 140 clients on a monthly basis. More than half of the individuals served in the 5 operations; Licensed Childcare, Licensed Assisted Living Type B, Adult Day Program, Transportation, and their Vocational Program, have underlying medical diagnoses, which require medical assistance on a regular basis.
The presentation was made as the Board of each entity, Humble Rotary and Village Learning Center met together. Oran Bain, president and Pam McNair, president elect of Humble Rotary, presented the check to Kimberly Ann Brusatori Founder/CEO of the Village Learning Center. Kimberly thanked the members of the Rotary Club of Humble for their significant support. She stated “we are truly humbled and grateful for your commitment to our mission and hope to continue our long and lasting relationship now and in the future.”
The Village’s mission is to create environments that help individuals with disabilities reach their maximum potential for independent living. They do this by offering a variety of programs and services that promote healthy and well-rounded lifestyles, both for the individual and their family.
For the individual, it means opportunities to build life and social skills that ultimately lead to improved quality of life, enhanced self-esteem, independence, confidence and inclusion. For families, it is the means by which they can become healthier and stronger through support.
The Village- also known as Village Learning & Achievement Center- empowers individuals to rise above the physical and emotional challenges that are often associated with a disability. At The Village, mutual respect exists and helps to further heighten the awareness that individuals with disabilities no longer need to feel isolated or “different.”
