WHY IS COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORS SO IMPORTANT

Strong Communities creates a vision for every child and every parent to be confident that someone will notice and someone will care when they have a cause for joy, sorrow or worry. Once residents felt that their neighborhood was a place where families helped each other, and where it was expected both to ask for and offer help, they would be more likely to make wise decisions that enhance child safety.
