A word from our clients

The work CAPWN does in this community and surrounding areas is vital to the health and well-being of our residents and we want to express our thanks for their dedication and hard work.

I believe that head start has been great place to build my children’s foundation for life.

-Head Start Parent M.M

Head Start has helped me begin to build my daughters educational foundation that will positively affect her life and development for many years to come.

Youth Programs has helped me have a place to live so I can stay in school. Youth Programs has helped me through so much and gives me something to look forward to

- 17 yr old Female Homeless Youth

Before the Foster Grandparent Program I had to use the food bank twice and rent assistance once due to care repair expenses.  The Foster GP gives me a reason to get up in the morning, a purpose in my life and additional income.

God Bless CAPWN Foster Grandparent Program

CAPWN has helped me to budget finances and teach me real life skills I didn't learn when growing up.  They helped me to get my landlord to fix my house and meet the requirements of the landlord.

- Asset Building Choices Client

They have made my life, so much less stressful.  I can go to college and have hope to be successful with my family. - Thank you

- Asset Building Choices Client

CAPWN helped me think that I am an important person, CAPWN is about people helping people out.

The Medical Clinic is a God send.  When we needed help the Food Pantry was there.

We would really appreciate if we can keep CAPWN open; because there are some families that really need the help they get from them.  Plus it's a good place and the workers are really good with their customers.  Please keep them going.
