Over the summer, the Early Childhood Family Services team endured an excruciatingly hot day of fun and service for the third year. The EC Family Service team comprised of veteran and new staff supported a Habitat for Humanity house build in Rockford.
Ironically, this home was going to one of the families that participated in the EC Prevention Initiative birth to three program three years ago. "It is such a blessing to see our families be able to benefit from our teams hard work," stated by Nichole Giovanni.
The new staff were a bit apprehensive about what they were getting themselves into, but everyone settled in despite the temperatures and enjoyed this team building experience. Giving back to the community and working together not only provides the team with a sense of continued purpose, but also true togetherness as we start out the next year of serving families.
