Your gift builds Northeast Florida's first holistic wellness home for adults with IDD
When adults with intellectual and developmental differences age out of school-based services, the doors to health, fitness, and connection often close behind them.
First Coast Abilities & Wellness Center is opening those doors again—with a research-based program that treats mind and body together, built specifically for this community. We're a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and we're not yet open. Your gift is what turns this vision into a place where people belong.

Three programs, one holistic approach to mind and body
Where your money goes
FCAWC is the only program we know of that looks at adults with developmental differences and cares for their mind and body together, using the latest research tailored to each individual.
Your gift funds the three pillars that make that possible—an adaptive fitness program and so much more.
Adaptive Fitness
Strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, and total-body fitness classes designed for all mobility levels—building health and confidence.
Nutrition & Living
Seminars, meal planning, and cooking that turn healthy eating into a sustainable lifestyle instead of another fad diet that doesn't last.
Education & Life Skills
Technology education, financial literacy, and employment readiness that support greater independence and connection.
