RE: Community Resource Directory
Welcome to the Family Connection Resource Directory!
Family Connection is committed to improving conditions for families and children in Dawson County. I believe it is our responsibility to strengthen families by increasing awareness and making connections to the many services available. We hope you find this helpful and a viable tool in your efforts to support and promote healthy families.
A great deal of research and program verification took place in preparing this initial publication. I stress “initial”, as there will be continual updates as our county grows. For this we ask your assistance. Please contact Family Connection if you find there are changes in services offered, locate additional and new resources, discover a program/service no longer available, or when you cannot find the resource you need. You will find agencies and services listed by category and also alphabetically.
We welcome you as a partner in making Dawson County a stronger community and value your suggestions and comments!
Providing leadership through collaboration with all segments of the community for the well being of families and children
