Arnette House

Our Story

Arnette House, Inc. was established in 1981 in memory of Gary Arnette, who tragically lost his life to a drug overdose. His parents, Vernon and Sara Arnette, along with the community, recognized the urgent need for a safe haven for children in crisis. The original Arnette House opened its doors in 1982, starting as a modest two-bedroom facility funded entirely by local donations. Over the years, Arnette House has grown into a comprehensive support system for youth and families, now encompassing a three-building complex on 4.8 acres in Northeast Ocala, Marion County.
