About Us

Our Mission Statement:

We are a Collaboration of Hardin County's agencies, who have a community approach to life in Hardin County. From this community approach, there is one common theme: Promoting welfare by providing assistance to families. As a community approach, we aid with navigating risks one family at a time. We keep in mind that one family's journey may look very different from another family's.

Our goal is to disrupt cycles of:
Poverty
Abuse
Violence
Substance Misuse
By offering strategies that support behavioral life changes.

We acknowledge all of the collaborative efforts that the Hardin County community offers to aid families on a variety of life stressors, from health concerns and food insecurity to educational assistance, substance issues, mental health concerns, and trauma.
