Community

At the Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center, we know that the West Jupiter community doesn’t stop at our front door. To better help our students, we need to be a resource to the whole neighborhood.
 
We reinforce character development lessons and model good citizenship through our community-centered programs.

Seniors Program

For more than 20 years, the Tutorial Center has offered services to seniors in the West Jupiter area. With enrichment activities ranging from health and nutrition education to holiday celebrations, the Center is ensuring that our elders continue to remain connected with our community. Seniors regularly interact with the students at events, strengthening the intergenerational bonds that make West Jupiter a better place to live.

Clothes Closet

The Center normally accepts donations of new or clean, gently used clothing that is available free of charge to anyone in the community with a need.  Please call ahead before coming to the center with donations.  Thank you! 

Thanksgiving Meals

Each year, the center has distributed free Thanksgiving dinner baskets — complete with turkey, vegetables, bread, potatoes, and pie — to our Limestone Creek neighbors. This annual event is successful thanks to our generous donors and volunteers. Join us in making sure that everyone has a Thanksgiving meal to share with their loved ones.
