What Are They Saying?
At The Center, I had people who cared for me and rooted for me every day. It meant so much to me and I 100% believe I wouldn’t be who I am today without having the boundaries, respect, and expectations that I was given during that time.
The Center helped me develop skills that I’ve used on a daily basis in my life.
[My Daughter] does well in the program and even gets her homework done on time. She builds friendships and relationships with her peers that she may not have been able to do in school.
The Center gave me a place to go and to have a warm meal when I know my mom would be working overtime and wouldn’t be able to cook for us.
The experience that The Center provides for my kids is not one that I could give them as a single parent.
I come to The Center because sometimes I need help my parents can’t give me.
I come to The Center because it gets me away from my homelife and improves my mental health!
