“The Children’s Foundation is a quality organization with numerous services that promote healthy families,” stated Johnson.  “I am proud of my long-standing relationship with this organization, and I am honored to assist the Children’s Foundation with obtaining federal funds.”

 The Family Visitation Center has a well-devised plan to use the new grant money.  It has expanded its hours and increased the staff.  Additionally, the FVC will hire Spanish-speaking consultants to translate center documents, inform families of FVC services, and supervise visits and exchanges for Spanish-speaking families.

 “We are thrilled about receiving this grant!” said Teresa Kelly, The Children’s Foundation Program Manager for Intact Family Services.  “This is very exciting to be a part of a community collaborative that works toward keeping children and families safe.”
