Voices:
The Family Success Center program made a big difference in my life! I am a single mother with three children overwhelmed with the needs of my family. I was told to go down to the Resource Center on South Main Street and things would get easier and they did! The staff helped me to enroll my child in kindergarten, told me where to get free baby equipment for my little one and helped me to apply for health insurance. When they found out that I was without electricity, the Family Partner referred me to First Call for Help who helped me also. They are always helping me.” – FACES participant
