The demand for our family resource programs continues to grow especially in the area of Early Years Outreach and School Age Programming and costs of providing these services continue to rise. Consequently, the Executive Director is currently researching other grant funding sources to enable the agency to continue to expand its program base still further in the coming years.

You can help! Did you know that for a 50 dollar donation we will print your business card in our bi-monthly newsletter? These advertising spaces help us with the cost of producing enough newsletters to reach all of our families! Please contact us if you are interested.
