2008 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

 

Since 1971, First Step Family Support Center has worked with thousands of families to help their children thrive through parent education, family support, and child development programs.  At this time we are excited to share with you that we have begun a capital campaign to raise funds to build a new facility on our current campus.  First Step has commitments from a number of major funders, but a match of local contributions is required to make this dream a reality.  While we are pursuing a number of grant and foundation opportunities, we still must look to our local community to help us raise the remaining $60,000 to break ground.

 

We believe this new building will substantially increase our capacity to further support the emergent and critical needs of low-income families with small children in Clallam County.  The expansion will feature a much-needed licensed infant and toddler childcare/early learning center, parent meeting and training rooms, and confidential counseling offices. This will make it possible to expand our current programs and to initiate new ones that the community has identified as fundamental to the successful development of families and children. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Step Family Support Center depends on the gifts of its friends who believe in investing in children’s lives. Your donation will open the doors to this much needed facility, boost the presence, stature and success of First Step and allow the agency to undertake bold, new projects. 

 

Our time is ticking away and we need YOU to help us to take our next step to provide for the healthy development of children and families
