"It Takes a Village!"

It really does take a village to raise a child, and community supports play a great part in the success of our families. To help connect families with local supports, we are having a community event where local agencies, and our PAT program, can share information.

This event is FREE to the public.
If you have children, grandchildren, or expecting a child - this is the event to attend!
