�� Help Restore the Historic Loughman Civic Center – A Heartbeat of Our Community

The Loughman Civic Center in Davenport, Florida is more than just a building — it’s a living piece of our community’s history. Originally part of the fabric of our small-town heritage, the civic center sits in an area rich with stories of early Florida settlement and community spirit dating back more than a century — long before Davenport became the vibrant place it is today.

Today, the Loughman Civic Center continues that legacy of community connection. It hosts private rentals, church services, local classes, and youth programs (scouting and drama), serving as a gathering place for people from all walks of life. But now, this beloved historic space needs the community’s help.

�� Why We’re Fundraising

The HVAC system has finally reached its end of life and needs a complete replacement. The summer heat will soon be here, and without reliable heating and cooling the events, church services, and youth programs risk cancellation. The very lifeblood of this community hub is in jeopardy.

�� What Your Support Will Do

Your donation will help us:

✨ Replace the outdated HVAC system with a modern, energy-efficient system

✨ Preserve this irreplaceable historic space for generations to come

✨ Keep youth classes, inclusive arts programs, and community events running

✨ Protect a place where neighbors gather, celebrate, learn, and belong

�� A Place With Heart and Hope

This isn’t just a fundraiser for a building — it’s a fundraiser for community connection, potential, and possibility. The Loughman Civic Center is a space that brings people together in meaningful ways.

We have big plans for the future — educational expansions, community partnerships, and enhanced programming — but we can’t do it without your support.
