Winder opens BRANCH Resiliency Center

In the nearly two years since the tragedy at Apalachee High School on September 4, 2024, the Winder community has walked a long and difficult road toward recovery. Thursday, May 14, 2026, marks a major milestone in that journey with the grand opening of the BRANCH Resiliency Center. Developed by The Ministry Village, the facility is designed as a permanent, long-term hub to support the mental and emotional needs of those impacted by the shooting and other community traumas.
