Eckerd Connects is a large nonprofit that delivers services aimed at youth and families. Founded in 1968 by Jack and Ruth Eckerd in rural Florida, its mission has broadened over time to address education, employment, housing, and youth prevention needs. It operates across 20 states and the District of Columbia and is based in Clearwater, Florida. The organization serves at-risk youth, families, and communities by offering a broad range of programs from job training to homelessness support and transitional services. A recent development includes collaborations with external partners, such as CVS Health, which supported Columbus programming through its Health Zones initiative, illustrating active stakeholder engagement.
