Background and Discussion:

The scope of the Project is to build a new Family Opportunity Center that will function as a multi-service center with a large self-select food pantry model; service space for CCGH case managers, mental health counselors, and other program staff; along with classrooms for employment training, parenting classes, and other educational offerings; and space for nonprofit partners like Martha’s Kitchen to provide complimentary services.
