Our mission is to equip families with the tools they need to become self-sufficient members of the community.

CFC educates individuals, supports families, and strengthens the community by

  • Providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to excel,
  • Promoting opportunities for adults to learn, and
  • Advancing cultural understanding and community partnerships.
