Our Model
​CCDN’s Strengthening Families Model focuses on empowering families through four key areas. Human Support Services addresses food insecurity with Mobile Food Hubs and connects families to essential resources like shelter and financial aid. Education Support Services provides pathways to success through Inspire Education Academy, offering academic credentialing and workforce readiness. Family Support Services strengthens families with mentoring, parenting resources, and counseling. Community Outreach engages communities through events, pop-up food hubs, and partnerships. This holistic approach fosters stability, resilience, and thriving communities.
