Community Partnerships
Healthy Children, Healthy Communities
Our Community Partnerships were born out of a desire for our 30 communities to have a more personal source of support. It is our goal to find a Community Partner for each community in our Community Health Development Program.
Our Partners stay connected: Our Community Partners receive updates, stories, and photos as your community is visited throughout the year. They are able to watch how your partnership makes a difference throughout the year.
"I love the community
partnership program because
I know God is using our gifts to
change an entire community."
-Bruce Carter

“When the clinic numbers are read after a team visits in one of our communities, there is a sense of awe in the room, knowing we also touched each of those lives.”
