Boulonge, Florida. Dayspring Village is a state licensed limited mental health assisted living facility located in Boulonge, Florida on a 15 acre campus.  Dayspring Village has recently received its 6th deficiency free state survey spanning 12 years of compliance.

The 32nd annual DAYSPRING VILLAGE Secret Santa Program is now underway. You can get involved with helping by contacting Ashley Turner at ashleyt@dayspringvillage.org – you can also donate to the program via https://www.gofundme.com/manage/32nd-secret-santa-program-for-dayspring-village. 

We are looking for volunteers to help ensure residents receive a wrapped gift on Christmas Day.  You can also donate baked goods for the evening snack or bring a musical performance to help residents during the holiday season.

This year we are also asking for help with the 31st annual DAYSPRING VILLAGE Shoe Party.  This program provides shoes for the mentally ill. You can get involved by contacting Jenna Doyle at jenna@dayspringvillage.org or calling us at 904-845-7501 or make a donation at https://www.gofundme.com/manage/the-31st-annual-shoe-party-for-the-mentally-ill.

“Nationally we know that 25% of adults with schizophrenia will attempt to end their life during the course of illness with 10% being successful.  We also know that the average life span for these adults is between 58 to 64 yrs old. Finally the mortality rate for adults with Schizophrenia who contract COVID19 is three times the national average for adults.  The complexity of living with Schizophrenia is a major struggle and the last year has been especially difficult.  I know that each dollar raised or donated gifts and shoes will make a lasting impact in the lives of these Americans.” Said Douglas Adkins, Executive Director.
