Mattie Williams Neighborhood Family Center
Our mission is to nurture and strengthen children, youth, adults, families and communities through education, support services and collaborative partnerships to help people improve their lives and achieve self-sufficiency.
It can often be difficult to find basic support for families in need, and the holidays are no different. That's why JWB funds a network of Neighborhood Family Centers (NFCs) to provide family support services. Many of these NFCs provide essential resources such as clothes, food, and more for families with children.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.5 CommentsComment on Facebook
BECAUSE OF YOU 900 CHILDREN WILL FEEL JOY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON...This holiday season, our community came together in an extraordinary way — and because of that generosity, nearly 900 children will experience the joy of the holidays through Mattie Williams Center’s Adopt-a-Child program and Toy Closet.
300 children were sponsored through Adopt-a-Child, each receiving thoughtfully chosen gifts from caring sponsors, including corporate sponsor.
600 children received toys through our Toy Closet thanks to an outpouring of donated gifts.
We are deeply grateful to the businesses, faith-based organizations, civic groups, schools, families, neighbors, and friends who supported this effort— sponsoring children, hosting toy drives, and donating toys.
Thank you to the many toy-drive hosts, our Toy Drive bin partners — Crooked Thumb Brewery, Polished Salon, and Paradise Restaurant, and the Safety Harbor Public Library...which hosted an Angel Tree with 100 children’s names.
And, to every individual who showed up with bags, boxes, and carloads of toys — often anonymously — simply because they wanted to help.
From all of us at the Mattie Williams Center — thank you for showing up, for giving generously, and for helping local children have a bright and joyful holiday season.
As we close out the year, you can continue to make a difference by supporting our Food Pantry and helping feed local families. Happy Holidays from the staff at Mattie Williams.

Bins of donated food delivered from Fire Chief Hawkins and crew helped stock the Food Pantry this month. Thank you to Safety Harbor Fire Department and Safety Harbor community for your ongoing support and generosity.

Fun end to another wonderful week at Mattie's After School Program -- holiday pajama party -- decorating ornaments, making holiday slime, and playing in the snow (shaving cream high fives)! Our staff made this week extra special for the children. Happy holidays!
