Empowering Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Scully Learning Center Foundation provides enrichment activities, life skills training and community support for adults with development disabilities. We are raising funds to build a residential center for developmentally disabled adults who become homeless when their family or long-term caregiver is no longer available to care for them.
Pennies for Preserving Families
The U.S. Treasury has begun phasing out the penny, completing the end of its production, making it obsolete and useless in the US economy. As there are significant pennies still in circulation, we’d like to collect as many of them as possible, exchanging them for dollars.
The following locations are accepting donations for the Scully Learning Center Penny Drive:
The Holland Center
34250 N 60th St, Scottsdale, AZ 85266
Local Jonny’s
6033 E Cave Creek Rd, Cave Creek, AZ 85331

Scully Greeting Cards
Creativity with a Cause
We are excited to share a special fundraiser that brings together creativity, community, and compassion. Participants recently teamed up with the Sonoran Arts League to design a beautiful collection of greeting cards—12 cards for just $30—with proceeds supporting our programs and mission.
Who We Are
Every person deserves a place to call home and a community that cares.
At Scully Learning Center, we believe every individual deserves a home filled with hope and belonging. Unfortunately, many adults with disabilities face the heartbreaking risk of homelessness as their caregivers age and housing options remain scarce.
Our mission is to empower adults with developmental disabilities by profiding safe housing, comprehensive life skills training, enrichment activities, and a supportive community. We are committed to fostering independence, dignity, and lifelong support, enabling individuals to lead stable, fulfilling lives and significantly reducing the risk of homelessness.
Over 50 adults with disabilities have been supported since 2010.
Preserving Families Home
“This will be more than just a residence – our community will empower adults with developmental disabilities to live with purpose, joy, and lifelong belonging.”

We can`t thank our Community Partner, @darrelljdoepke, enough for his support. Here is a recent post he made helping us spread awareness of the need to build Preserving Families Home and our Pennies for Preserving Families fundraiser:
As a Community Partner I support the Scully Learning Foundation which provides enrichment activities, life skills training and community support for adults with development disabilities. I caught up with founder Paula Scully and President Chris Ringhofer at the Holland Center recently. They are raising funds to build a residential center for developmentally disabled adults who become homeless when their family or long-term caregiver is no longer available to care for them. One of their fundraising activities is Pennies for Preserving Families. The U.S. Treasury has begun phasing out the penny, completing the end of its production, making it obsolete and useless in the US economy. As there are significant pennies still in circulation, they`d like to collect as many of them as possible, exchanging them for dollars.

Paula had a great afternoon at the Desert Foothills Volunteers latest GIG, connecting local residents with meaningful opportunities. She spoke with attendees about the need for volunteers, from assisting participants on outings to sharing their unique talents. She also highlighted the importance of creating a forever home for adults with developmental disabilities when their caregivers are no longer able to provide care. Your time can change a life, come volunteer with us.
We all have them. Those pennies that we are collecting in jars, tucked into cup holders, sitting at the bottom of a purse, or forgotten in a kitchen drawer. While a few spare coins may not seem like much, they can add up to something truly meaningful when a community comes together.
You could roll them up and cash them in, use them in a fun art project, or let the kids practice counting and sorting. But one of the most meaningful things you can do right now is donate your pennies to the Preserving Families Home fundraiser.
Every penny, nickel, dime, and quarter helps support a place where families can find hope, stability, and community. It’s a simple way to turn forgotten change into real change for families in need.
So the next time you ask yourself, “What do I do with my pennies?”, we hope the answer is: help build brighter futures, one coin at a time. Check out our website to find drop-off locations or learn more!
