JACK & JILL CHILDREN'S CENTER

Since 2001, Stiles Corporation and its employees have “adopted” Jack & Jill Children’s Center. There has been an enthusiastic and collective commitment to support the Center by volunteering time with the children, collecting food and clothing for parents and children, helping with the center’s landscaping and minor repairs. Great success has been realized in the efforts to help the center and all the good people associated with it. For example, over 200 complete meals have been delivered to the center and well over 30 boxes of clothes—all of which was donated by Stiles employees.

Terry Stiles is currently President of the non-profit organization, Jack and Jill Children’s Center, and headed up the capital campaign to build them a new children’s resource center for underprivileged families. The building had its grand opening in Summer 2003, and it is more than just a housing facility. It is a 17,389 square foot facility able to accommodate 130 children ages birth to five. There are classrooms for kids and adults, a kitchen, administrative offices, a resource room, clothing bank, teachers’ lounge, and 4,265 square foot outdoor playground. Many Stiles employees have followed Terry’s example by donating their own time to read to the children on Friday afternoons; also, there is an organized monthly drive to donate food, clothes and household items to the center.
