Our Focus

Strengthening individuals and families by providing them with the education and resources needed to lead, healthy, self-sufficient lives.

Education

Teaching children & parents today allows for a brighter future.

Health

Helping to ensure children and families have nutritious meals.  

Community

It takes an entire community to raise a child. Once that community is formed, anything can be achieved. 
Our founder Anna Willis passed away in December: this picture shows her at our annual Ice Cream Social this past August, laughing with characteristic warmth.

She made a real difference in the lives of others, and we feel privileged to be able to continue her legacy.
