The Rotary Club of Humble presented a $10,000.00 check to The Village Learning Center. The funds donated will help provide operational support for their medical services programs at their Day Program and Assisted Living Facility.  It will help to fund staff salaries, equipment and supplies.  The staff includes two licensed vocational nurses, two certified nurse’s assistants, a medical assistant and a part time registered nurse.

The Village Learning Center is the largest provider in the Northeast Houston area for individuals with Developmental Disabilities (IDD) serving more than 140 clients on a monthly basis. More than half of the individuals served in the 5 operations; Licensed Childcare, Licensed Assisted Living Type B, Adult Day Program, Transportation, and our Vocational Program, have underlying medical diagnoses, which require medical assistance on a regular basis.  

The presentation was made as the Board of each entity, Humble Rotary and Village Learning Center met together. Susan Brodbeck, President of Humble Rotary, presented the check to Kimberly Ann Brusatori Founder/CEO of the Village Learning Center. Kimberly thanked the members of the Rotary Club of Humble for their significant support. She stated “we are truly humbled and grateful for your commitment to our mission and hope to continue our long and lasting relationship now and in the future.”
