Child & Family Center had a great time celebrating the season at our staff holiday party. 💛 Between live musical numbers performed by staff, great food (and celebrating our Bake Off winners, Jummy Aderele in first place!), and plenty of laughs, it was a reminder of how special this team really is. Thankful for the people who make Child & Family Center such a supportive and dedicated place.
From all of us to you, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season. 🎉❄️

✨ ’Tis the season to give back and lift our community! ❤️ Last week, our Child & Family Center CORE outreach & prevention team joined Pueblo y Salud in Lancaster for a powerful food giveaway event, meeting families where the need is and offering support with care.
More than 200 community members received bags of food, toiletries, toys, and access to resources from incredible organizations focused on health, wellness, and stability.
We’re proud to stand alongside our community and continue showing up with hope, compassion, and connection this holiday season. ✨🤝💙

Yesterday, Felicia Skaggs, our Program Director of the Domestic Violence Program, and Destiny McCune, our Marketing & Community Outreach Program Manager, attended “Cocktails & Conversation with Captain Brandon Barclay".
We are incredibly grateful for our ongoing partnership with Captain Barclay and the support we receive from local law enforcement in serving survivors and strengthening families in our community. Opportunities to connect and collaborate like this are invaluable to our mission.
A special thank-you to the Valley Industry Association (VIA) for hosting such a meaningful event and continually creating spaces where community organizations and leaders can come together.
