How can we help?

• Foster Care/Adoption Information
  • We have resources for foster parents and workers. Our annual program, Linking Hearts, provides a safe and fun place for families to interact with children seeking adoption.
• Nutrition and Active Living
  • Our Fit Phelps program is designed to improve the overall health in our community through better nutrition and fitness. We have information for schools and childcare centers as well as parents and community members.
• Children with Disabilities
  • Our Capable Kids and Families program helps families with all aspects of caring for children with special needs. We provide support through home visitation, networking/playgroups, and a therapy equipment loan program. Friendship Circles bring together children with disabilities and their peers. P.E. for All Kids involves area schools in making gym class more open to everyone through equipment and special activities.
• Working with a child under 5 years old
  • Early Care and Education is an important part of a child's development. We work with childcare providers to refine their programs to meet those needs. We also provide resources for parents as well as members in the community.
• Training, licensing and accreditation for your childcare center
  • If you are interested in becoming a licensed child care provider or expanding the capacity at your existing accredited facility, please contact us.
• Young Families and Youth Employment
  • We offer a Young Parents Program to support young adults facing the challenges of a new family. Our Youth Employment Skills program provides job skills training with the goals of self-sufficiency and employment. Girls, Inc. focuses on educating and encouraging girls to make positive and healthy choices early in their lives.
• Needing help and looking for community resources
  • We have an online directory with local resources for Child Care, Education, Elderly, Employment and Training, Legal Assistance, Mental Health and several other categories.
• Giving a gift to The Partnership
  • You can contribute to the future of our organization through donations online, by mail, by phone or at our annual ASK Event. You can also volunteer your time and donate items to our resale shop.
• Buying or donating thrift store items
  • The Partnership Resale Shop has a number of items from clothing to collectibles. In this economy, buying items at "yard sale" prices can save you money while helping The Community Partnership in the process. In addition, you can save money through tax deductions by donating items to our resale shop.
