Like Joe Debs said, OutEast deserves a first-class facility with first-in-class service. Open seven days a week, with half of its employees living right in the neighborhood, The Corner at Debs is now serving OutEast with groceries and beyond.

Thanks so much to our partners at the Jacksonville Transportation Authority for investing in and around The Corner at Debs Store, with a brand new bus stop right near the store that also features an OutEast legend, a historic marker highlighting the store's history, and a branded bus promoting it throughout the urban core!

Congratulations to our COO Travis Williams for being selected in the inaugural cohort of The EdRedesign Lab Fellowship for Cradle-to-Career Partnership Leaders at Harvard Graduate School of Education! Through this program, Travis will come together with leaders from across the country to hone the skills needed to drive systemic change and build robust ecosystems in neighborhoods for children & families.
🎉 We are thrilled to celebrate three of our outstanding Network Members for being selected to join the Harvard The EdRedesign Lab's Inaugural Cohort for Cradle-to-Career Partnership Leaders! Congrats to Travis Williams of LIFT JAX, Zeevelle Nottingham-Lemon of Cherry Hill Strong, Inc, and Rahkiah B. of South City Foundation! As part of a group of 22 leaders from diverse backgrounds, they will gain invaluable skills and tools to enhance their work in improving outcomes for children and families in their communities. Children and families face deep-rooted disparities in education, health, and well-being across the U.S. Addressing these issues requires place-based partnerships that unite sectors and amplify resident voices. The Harvard EdRedesign Lab’s Fellowship equips leaders to drive change, creating pathways for young people to reach their full potential. Join us in congratulating these leaders on this incredible achievement in the comments! 👏

R’Nee Martin started coming to Debs Store when she was 7 years old and now gets the chance to do so again: “It brings back a lot of memories. This is a community that’s unlike any other community, the people here are family, everyone knows each other, so it’s a great feeling”

"We all have places in our neighborhood where we have to describe what used to be there, on this corner & that corner. For the Eastside, this was The Corner, the one where Debs used to be." Mark Woods captured why even rain couldn't dampen the community spirit OutEast last week.
