FALL 2020 VOLUME 30/NO. 4
Empowering children and families to experience the
transforming love of Christ through wholistic care.
A word FROM OPERATIONS
Dr. Kevin Egan, Chief Operating Officer
Florida United Methodist Children’s Home
Well it’s certainly no secret that 2020 has seen more than its fair share of challenges with the current pandemic being at
the forefront of everything we do. The Children’s Home has been navigating the challenges associated with COVID-19
while continuing to ensure that there are as few disruptions to services as possible. Our Facilities Team has done an
exceptional job of maintaining the cottages and other buildings while making sure the youth have the best possible
living spaces. Because we have limited access to the campus for the most part, except for essential services, our team
has risen to the challenge of increased demands on their time. It has also limited our ability to move forward with
some of our capital projects.
After being closed the last three months of the 2019 - 2020 school year, Legacy Scholars Academy (LSA) opened its
doors for the 2020 - 2021, serving our middle and high school students. Our elementary aged students began this
academic year by distance learning but have since safely returned to school. Volusia County Schools has been an
outstanding collaborative and supportive partner, ensuring our students are able to continue their studies. Youth at
the Madison Youth Ranch are back to attending school in that county after a period of studying remotely. Despite the
challenges of the pandemic, In As Much, our early childhood education development program is thriving and we are
continuing to see increases in enrollment.
Our Support Services Team, including the Commissary and Food Services, has been outstanding in meeting the
challenges of the past months. They have provided support to direct care staff in our Emergency Shelter by preparing
meals that can be reheated and served, allowing the staff to have more time to focus on the youth. The Support
Services Team has also worked with cottage staff to modify how they get groceries and supplies to the cottages while
maximizing the safety of all.
Our Foster Care Team has deftly navigated the pandemic and they have not experienced any significant issues due to
COVID-19. The Foster Care staff continues to provide excellent support for our foster parents, ensuring the children
in our care are living in a safe and happy environment. As we head into 2021, we are prayerful that the pandemic
will leave us behind and we can begin to get back to the projects we have in the works for both the Enterprise and
Madison Campuses.

CHILDREN
PARTICIPATE IN A
DAY OF SERVICE
Many of our youth and staff recently participated
in a Day Of Service. The Day Of Service is a special
day when youth from the Children’s Home go
out into the local community and help others
with projects. Rev. Madeline Luzinski, Director of
Pastoral Care, has set up many of these service days
in the past but has had to postpone days planned
earlier in the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For this Day Of Service, our youth were able to Teamwork makes tree trimming easy
participate while taking the necessary precautions
like distancing where possible as well as wearing
masks and gloves. Community members who had
projects for our helpful and enthusiastic youth
included:
• All Saints Episcopal Church, Enterprise
• Barnett Memorial United Methodist
Church, Enterprise
• Deltona Alliance Church, Deltona
• Enterprise Elementary School, Enterprise
• Enterprise Preservation Society, Enterprise

Our youth performed projects like weeding,
landscaping, cleaning, and gardening. They also
helped unload donated items from a truck and then
assembled Halloween treat bags for other children
who attended a Trunk or Treat event. “Events
like this empower our youth to see themselves as
capable or serving and giving to others. They always
come back excited and asking when they can do it
again,” said Rev. Luzinski. Removing the weeds in the crack before pressure washing
