The Welcome Center has become a role model for many other rural communities. It is an example of what can be accomplished with high levels of support. We have presented our programs to the following:

We believe that the success and accomplishments would not be possible without the generous support of foundations, the hard work of our dedicated staff, and the wise guidance of our board of directors and committees.
