National Family Week November 18-24, 2007

The Annie E. Casey Foundation and partners celebrate National Family Week this week. It takes strong families to build strong communities and each of us can work to make our own family units stronger. Healthy families = healthy communities. We can make a commitment to take the time to strengthen connections and make better lives for families - not just our own but maybe volunteer our time with vulnerable families in our communities. Participating organizations that maybe hosting events you and your loved ones will want to contribute to:

• Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
• Camp Fire USA
• Girl Scouts USA
• National Council on Aging
• YMCA
• WAVE
• Americorps
• National Mental Health Association
• National Wellness Institute
  

Employers who provide family-friendly work options such as flexible hours help build strong, healthy families (Thank you, Healthline Networks!).
