Believe
in the power of dreams
We've
been around now for ten years, a decade of service to Henderson
County. We started with dreams, put the dreams on
paper, and then built an infrastructure to make the dreams
come true for our children and families.
A
big part of putting our dreams on paper was defining our
Mission: first, to promote the well-being of children
by advocating for them and their families. To ensure
that children are educated, healthy and safe, the Children
& Family Resource Center stepped out of its established
role of providing great service to lead the way in uniting
the entire community to solve problems that transcend any
one agency. The "Speak Out for Kids"
event in October 2007 brought together 280 residents and
62 member agencies.
The
second part of our mission is to promote the well-being
of children by facilitating coordination and collaboration
among children's programs. Our new Center, completed
in 2005, united several agencies and multiple programs under
one roof, creating a "one-stop-shop" for our families.
This innovative business model allows for shared
costs, resources, and synergy, creating greater efficiency
in operation as well as greater access and ease for families
needing services.
The
third part of our mission is to promote the well-being of
children by providing programs and services for them and
their families. We offer amazing research based programs
and touch the lives of over 6,000 children and family members
in Henderson County every year. The success stories
are real.
The
Children & Family Resource Center turns ten years old
in 2009. A tenth anniversary is traditionally represented
by the pliability of tin or aluminum, symbols of how a successful
relationship needs to be flexible and durable. How
it can be bent without being broken. Although we've
proven our flexibility and durability for ten years, our
trail-blazing will now lead us into a new decade.
While many of our dreams have come true, we remain strategically
committed to the challenges of the future. I urge
you to continue your journey with us - we need you to help
us keep these dreams alive.
