Community Involvement Activities
TDC partnered with the UAB Minority Health & Health Disparities Research Center and Living Church Ministries to provide Walk up Covid 19 Testing for Titusville and surrounding neighborhoods. At this time testing was only available through drive thru in many areas. This provided testing opportunity for people who may not have been able to meet drive thru protocol.
Titiusville Development Corporation has a long rich history of community activities. The organization was conceived from the notion of convening stakeholders of the community for the purpose of making it a better community. Community Programs Includes:
• Senior Affordable Housing Development in partnership with the City of Birmingham, HUD and Jefferson County Department of Senior Citizens
• Annual Titusville Day Community Event sponsored through collaboration with Local Businesses, State of Alabama Tourism, City of Birmingham, Birmingham City Council, Birmingham Police Department and local churches.
• Through a partnership with Meals on Wheel homebound seniors are provided one meal 5 days a week.
• Food pantry that provides a monthly distribution of groceries to 175 local low income families through a partnership with the United Way Community Food bank.
• Through our partnership with the Dawson Family, health and financial workshops are implemented to educate the community. Dawson also supports the local Middle School to increase the number of students who preregister for school by providing school supplies and book bags.
• Dawson supports a reading Initiative implemented in 2015 to increase the reading level of students.
• 100 % of the students who participate in these programs are eligible for free and reduced lunch.
