UCAN RSVP is New Partner in
Family Resource Center

Coalition for Kids is pleased to welcome a new partner agency to the Family Resource Center. "UCAN RSVP is thrilled to begin developing a partnership with CFK to serve a wider population in an environment that is welcoming to individuals of all ages," says program director Kelly Wessels. "Coalition for Kids has the ability to bring together diverse partnerships to create services that are cost-effective and have a positive impact on our community."

The Family Resource Center is a perfect fit for two UCAN RSVP programs:

• AARP Tax Aide
  Free Tax preparation services for middle to low-income families, seniors and disabled, from volunteers trained by IRS qualified instructors. Service includes free electronic filing at time of service.
• Ready to Start School Right
  Backpack School Supply program in partnership with DHS and Job Council, serving over 1100 youth annually with necessary school supplies, backpacks and learning items.

Wessels says, "the volunteers are excited to begin a new chapter in their service at the FRC and welcome the opportunity to help our new host maximize resources for the benefit of families."

We all share in the excitement and look forward to all the wonderful opportunities this new partnership will bring.
