Seminole HS Among Five Local Schools Receiving New Student Support Centers from Addition Financial Foundation

Just days before students return to the classroom, Addition Financial Credit Union and the Addition Financial Foundation are celebrating the completion of its 2026 Renovate to Educate initiative by unveiling newly transformed needs spaces at five public schools across Central Florida, including a food and clothing pantry at Seminole High School’s 9th grade center.

Designed to serve students and families experiencing homelessness or financial hardship, these welcoming support centers are stocked with food, clothing, hygiene products, and other everyday essentials — resources intended to help students arrive at school ready to learn and succeed.

This year’s participating schools include:

• Deltona Middle School (Volusia County)
• Discovery Intermediate School (Osceola County)
• Eustis Heights Elementary School (Lake County)
• Meadowbrook Middle School (Orange County)
• Seminole High School – 9th Grade Center (Seminole County)

According to local district data, more than 20,000 students across these five Central Florida counties are currently experiencing homelessness, highlighting the growing need for school-based resources that support students beyond the classroom.

Throughout the summer, dozens of Addition Financial Credit Union team members volunteered their time to paint, assemble furniture, organize supplies, decorate the rooms and stock shelves with essential items before the start of the new school year.

“We are incredibly excited to be a part of this year’s Renovate to Educate program,” said Dr. Jaime B. Washington, Principal at Seminole High School 9^th Grade center. “This investment is providing additional resources that will help us create a more welcoming, engaging, and supportive campus experience. When students have access to resources, they are better positioned to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. We look forward to seeing the lasting benefits it will bring to our school community.”
