The Russell Home for Atypical Children050

If the residents of Orlando were asked to vote for their favorite charity, there's no doubt that The Russell Home for Atypical Children would be a top candidate. Individuals, organizations, and businesses throughout the city actively and faithfully provide financial support for the one-of-a-kind private, non-profit facility that provides homes for severely handicapped individuals of all ages. For those wishing to support the home through donations, the staff maintains a list of household supplies, food items, and essentials that families can refer to when looking for items to contribute. Families are also welcome to visit with residents and tour the facility. One of the more unique ways to support the home is to make reservations at The Corner Rose Tea Room. The in-house tea room provides private, Victorian-style tea parties for children and adults that feature a elegant array of finger sandwiches, bite-size sweets, and teas. A $20/person minimum donation is suggested; all proceeds are tax-deductible and benefit the home. Service is for up to 12 guests; reservations are required and dates book quickly, so plan in advance.
