During the summer of 2017 the Community Services division of the Police Department coordinated the facilitation of a “Summer Breakspot” juvenile feeding and outreach program in conjunction with Florida Impact. This 6 week program not only provided nourishment to at-risk children (ages 6-14) within our community, but also provided enrichment through daily safety presentations, reading and mentoring, arts and crafts, and sports activities. Coral Springs Police personnel staffed and operated the program, coordinating volunteers, providing educational and recreational components, sports activities, and food distribution. High school students and community volunteers were also recruited to assist with the daily operations. This year’s 2019 program will be held at James Hunt Elementary School. Seeking to reinstitute the “Summer Breakspot” program this coming summer and years ahead, a dedicated funding source would help with the continuance and possible expansion of the “Summer Breakspot” program.
The Summer Breakspot program has been canceled due to COVID. The intent will be to continue this program in the summer.
