How You Can Help

Without this Center, some families would not be served. Our 2008-09 plan is to continue to provide services and opportunities for personal growth for those who currently require our services. In addition, we must touch the 10,000’s of others that we believe would benefit from our services.

Are you looking for a way to make this Christmas brighter for a local child?  You have come to the right place.  We are currently in need of additional sponsors to provide Christmas gifts for children in the Golden Strip area.  If your family, business, church, or organization would like to sponsor a family in need, please contact Tausha Hicks at thicks@centercs.com or 688-2215.
