Youth & Family

PURPOSE:

The Youth and Family Division is dedicated to helping our youth grow up in healthy family environments and educating Macon County residents on youth and family issues.

PROJECTS:

• 2009, 2010 members volunteered assembling safe sleep packets that are distributed by Macon County Health Department to parents of newborns in the hospitals in Macon County.
• 2009 members donated items to new Life Pregnancy Center’s Boutique.
• 2008 collected hygiene items for Project Success’s Back Pack Program and volunteers helped pack the back packs.
• 2007 collected can food for Northeast Community Fund.

Youth & Family Grants 2010-2011

The division grant funds of $300 were distributed to two projects for the year 2010/2011. The Macon County Health Department Immunization Clinic will use the funds to purchase school supplies to be given to children entering Kindergarten in the fall who complete their immunizations in the summer of 2011.
Growing Strong will use their funds for a "treasure box" to help make their agency more child friendly and less frightening to child survivors of abuse.
