Family Center Meets Its Challenge Grant

Thank you!

We did it! The Family Center reached its goal of raising $18,000 that was matched dollar-for-dollar by a very generous donor. A heartfelt thank you to all the friends of the Family Center who generously contributed funds. Through your generosity we were able not only to reach this goal, but also to do so by our deadline of the end of 2009. Thank you again for your support. It is greatly appreciated!

EarnBenefits®, Helping Individuals Receive Assistance

The Family Center is pleased to announce the arrival of a new program, EarnBenefits, to the Center. The EarnBenefits program is designed to help those who qualify receive benefits that can free up their money to handle other bills and costs. Through a quick screening, EarnBenefits can indicate what benefits an individual may qualify for, and provide assistance with the application process. A screening indicates eligibility for Food Stamps, WIC, Medicaid, Child Care Subsidies, Telephone Bill Assistance and many others. If you want to see what benefits you may qualify for and receive help applying without having to wait at crowded agencies, please stop by the Hampden Family Center and speak to Brianne Phillips or call her to make an appointment (410-467-8710 ext. 106).
