“Thanks so much for the clothing for school and the gift card. It was so helpful in giving me a professional look for barbering school. It was so kind of you to help me like you did, I really appreciate it!”

“Thank you so much for delivering the food, gift card, diapers, laundry detergent, and baby clothing!”

“Now that I am graduating from the NRI Career Academy, I have new skills, a better understanding of myself and others, and more confidence…Everyone in this class came with a story and overcame obstacles to better themselves. There is no doubt in my mind that my classmates will be successful in whatever avenue they pursue. They have already demonstrated their determination to succeed in class…I cannot thank the teachers, staff, partners, and volunteers enough for all they do. The support here is phenomenal!”

“My son went from not wanting to go, even with the stipend, to not wanting to miss a day.”

“Summer camp was the BEST! I made new friends and was no longer scared about going to 6th grade!”

Brutally bullied during the day, Shayna would arrive at the afterschool program in tears, “where Miss Cass would wrap me in a hug and just pour all this love into me. Knowing I had the afterschool program to come to kept me going through the day.”

“I love after-school because I have fun and get to learn new dances!”

“Words can't begin to describe how grateful I am to CCF! Ever since my daughter started attending, I have watched her grow socially, physically, and mentally. It's almost like having family caring for her while I work. Their communication is above and beyond. Thank you CCF staff for the dedication you all put into teaching my daughter!”

“Thank you so much for sending my daughter home with her new gardening kit! As soon as we got home we got to work planting. She was so excited! I would never have thought to do this. We can’t wait to care for her garden and watch it grow!”

“I was so lost before Pat came into my home, but the activities she brought have given my daughter a strong foundation for entering school: she had been having speech problems and wasn’t talking. But now, she is talking in three-word sentences, and last month she was named Student of the Week in her Pre-K class.”
