About BENS PLACE SERVICES INC

Ben's Place Services, Inc. is a Jacksonville-based 501(c)(3) community center serving adults with developmental and acquired disabilities. Founded in the early 2000s (incorporated 2004) and recognized as tax-exempt in 2005, the organization provides structured day programs, social activities, life-skill training, and community outings that promote independence and social inclusion.

In recent years (2023–2025) Ben's Place has documented program growth and enhanced service hours — adding evening hours Wednesday–Friday and offering Saturday programs several times monthly — while running regular fundraising initiatives (online auctions, an annual golf tournament, a Christmas Village) and engaging community partners. The organization reports active partnerships with local institutions (including occupational therapy students from regional colleges) and continues to operate regular member-focused activities such as arts, fitness, field trips, and vocational skill-building.
