- reduce poverty and crime
- strengthen local communities
- help families get food, clothing, insurance, housing and jobs
Individual Spotlight
This summer we received a wonderful surprise - a very generous gift from the Plafsky Family Foundation. This special donation will allow FAMILYConnections to continue delivering the following services with confidence:
- Family reunification
- Domestic violence treatment
- Mental health and substance abuse treatment
- Life skills and parenting skills training
- Aid with concrete needs (food, housing, jobs, healthcare)
We are grateful to the Plafsky Family Foundation, and to all donors who join us in our mission to nurture and strengthen those in our community facing life's greatest challenges.
Corporate Sponsorship
We are proud to be celebrating our second year of partnership with Citi. Thanks to their generous grant, our School-Based Youth Services Program "The Space" at Orange High School is now offering free SAT prep courses to over 100 students. The Space's increased college access programming also features college tours, fairs, support workshops, and individual coaching on college applications.
Because of Citi's mindful support, over 60 low-income high-potential students have now been accepted into college - something these students thought was impossible. Thank you Citi - we look forward to continued partnership in 2012.
Don't forget to ask your company whether they'll support your charitable giving by matching your gift to FAMILYConnections.

"In every community there is work to be done. In every heart there is the power to do it." -Marianne Williamson
Volunteering at FAMILYConnections is a unique opportunity to become a part of the solution. Whether it's providing your professional expertise pro bono, or reading to a group of children, the gift of your time truly furthers our mission.
Thanks to Marvin Clawson and the team at Clawson Architects in Maplewood, we're exploring a potential renovation of our main office facility in Orange. Our friends at Clawson Architects are committed to helping their community and have been graciously sharing their skills with us pro bono. With their generosity, we can continue to provide our clients with a safe, comfortable environment in which to heal and grow.
