Reaching our target families in many counties may be a difficult task. I recently attended an Inner Agency Meeting in our county where I met a very important partner, Rhonda Wheeler. Rhonda heard my program overview and asked me to join the Anderson County Early Childhood Council (ACECC). This council serves the county by assisting parents in school readiness. This partnership has put me in touch with other agencies serving our at risk families and given me a broader opportunity to serve. This partnership has led to MP-Saurus classes at Little Acorn Childcare Center, Healthy Eating on a Budget at Community Action, and sending information home about fruits and vegetables through the Backpack Program. I will continue to grow my community partners to open doors to opportunities to reach our families.
