We are thrilled to announce that Friends for Life has received a generous $7,000 grant from Do it Best to support our Children & Youth Program! A huge THANK YOU to Brent Watts and the local Do It Best team for this incredible investment in the families we serve.
Our Children & Youth Program works with families who have children and youth with special healthcare needs, connecting them to vital resources through state and local programs and support networks in their own communities. From helping cover co-pays for behavior support services and medical supplies to funding summer camps and respite care, this program makes a real difference in these families' daily lives. We also empower families through person-centered planning, because we believe families know best what they need and how to meet those needs.
This generous grant from Do It Best will help us continue serving families across McLennan, Bell, Coryell, Hill, Falls, and surrounding counties.
To learn more about our Children & Youth Program or any of our services, visit friendsforlife.org or call us at 254-772-7600.
