Bring solar to the Sulzbacher Village (SZV) and help support a permanent low-income housing community for women and families in Jacksonville, Florida. Sulzbacher Village focuses its efforts on providing economic empowerment, educational advancement, health and wellness, and character and leadership to their residents; enabling them to reach self-sufficiency over time.

This project is fully Funded. See pictures here.

$157,868 Needed/ $157,868 Raised

Donate to one of our current projects.

The Sulzbacher Center is the largest homeless provider in NE Florida. Each year, they provide over 70,000 nights of shelter, 472,000 healthy meals, and connect over 7,000 individuals to needed medical services. Established in 1995, the facility has grown into a multi-facility operation.

Operational costs can be pretty high between their multiple campuses. The use of energy-efficient technology, like solar panels, will allow us to not only keep our lights on but allows for additional funding to go directly to Sulzbacher’s services for Jacksonville’s homeless population. Sulzbacher has always proved a model of innovation and modernizing the way they power their campuses will serve as another opportunity to move forward and grow.

“Moving our operations toward energy efficiency leaves more funding for the desperately needed services we provide, such as meals and healthcare. Installing and utilizing solar energy saves money and allows us to lessen our carbon footprint.” Cindy Funkhouser, President, and CEO of Sulzbacher.

 

 

Sulzbacher Village, which was opened in 2018, also hosts a Pediatric Clinic, the Crawford Early Learning Center, a comprehensive Children’s Program, and short-term Transitional Units. The Village was designated as a HUD Envision Center in 2019. An EnVision Center serves as a hub in the community dedicated to helping more Americans become self-sufficient. Sulzbacher Village received this designation because of its comprehensive programming.

Bringing a 49.8 kW solar energy system to Sulzbacher Village, will not only support this community for 25 years, but it will also help to maximize the use of the great Florida sun!

 

 THANK YOU to individuals and organizations who have made contributions to help bring solar to the Sulzbacher Village!
