🎒 Big dreams start small.

Our Head Start program reaches across 16 counties through:
📍 46 sites
🍎 151 classrooms
❤️ 2,089 children
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 1,885 families

But Head Start is about so much more than numbers. It’s about helping children become ready to learn, supporting parents, strengthening families and creating opportunities that can last a lifetime.

Every child deserves a strong start. That’s why Head Start matters. 💙

Some people serve an organization. Others leave a lasting mark on it.

Today, we honored one of those remarkable people by dedicating the Rev. Jerry Manning Board Room at Audubon Area Community Services.

Reverend Jerry Manning, Sr. (1934–2023) gave generously of his time, wisdom, and leadership to AACS, serving as a Board Member, Interim Early Childhood Education Director, and Interim Chief Executive Officer.

When our organization needed leadership most, Jerry was there. He stepped up, went above and beyond, and demonstrated what true servant leadership looks like.

It was a special day to gather, reflect, share memories, and ensure that Rev. Manning’s legacy has a lasting home at AACS. We were so happy to have his daughter and great-granddaughter join us today.

Thank you, Jerry, for answering the call to serve. Your impact lives on. ❤️
