What comes to mind when you think of CCFI?
A place that I can go and not feel judged when I need help. Everyone at CCFI is willing to help, no matter what the situation is. CCFI is part of my story and made me who I am today. It has helped me become a better parent AND a better person. Because of CCFI, I am who I want and need to be.

Helping parents when they needed help. Giving them a second chance to become the parent they are meant to be.
What would you like to say to encourage others to get involved with CCFI, whether by donating or volunteering?
No matter what age your kids are, this place will help you understand more. There is always something new to learn when it comes to being a parent. Volunteering at CCFI will help the community in many ways. It helps with single parents and helps children get what they need and deserve. People that volunteer will give parents the change to be the best parent possible.
