About Us |
Strengthening Families & Connecting Community |
The Community Resource Centers in Kiowa and Simla are the hubs for outreach throughout our Elbert County community. It is here where families and individuals can come to connect with each other in a safe and friendly environment, to help each other grow, and achieve their dreams. It is here where anyone in need can come to learn skills for living and to acquire the resources to put these skills to use. All people are welcomed and encouraged to participate in this community spirit. |
