Community Development Center Foundation
FRIEND OF THE CDC
Everyday someone like you enables miracles to occur within the Community Development Center programs. A child who is not expected to walk takes a first step. A child who doesn't speak, says one word. A child who doesn't have eye contact looks at his mother. These are the wonders seen because you support Early Intervention to give each child a good beginning and the right foundation for development.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Foundation is to provide financial support and funding to the Community Development Center in order to foster, develop, promote, and operate a continuum of services and programs for developmentally challenged citizens and those at risk of developmental delays in Middle Tennessee and the surrounding community area.
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
Each day someone like you provides the opportunity for a child care provider to be given vital training to carry out responsibilities with children. This training is provided to licensed child care providers in thirteen counties on a year round basis.
YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE
Throughout the year you ensure that families and persons with developmental disabilities have someone overseeing and coordinating their services in order to live independently in the community. You make it possible for individuals of any age with severe disabilities and their families to remain together in their homes and communities.
You are a friend and one who makes miracles possible everyday in the CDC. Thank you for your support.
HISTORY
