Community. What an interesting word. What is community? I mean, we all live in a community, but then we also talk about being in community, or we feel the community support.
So what is a community? Is it where we live? Is it a state of being? Is it feeling?
The answer is “yes”. A community is a place we live, but it’s also a feeling of closeness we get when we work with and support each other. To sum it up, a community is a support group. Communities support each other when they lose everything due to a disaster, they celebrate with each other through life’s joys, they are shoulders when you need to cry.
That is what we strive to be here at The Family Center. Whether it’s a bag of food, a computer to use, an ear to listen when you need to talk, or just a warm place to do some work or read a book, we want to be there to support you. To be a community. Welcome home to community.
