We donate to the agency every year because of their mission and the good work they do for our community. My family lives in Southern Arizona, where there are not many resources for families. Child & Family Resources has provided childcare referrals through CCR&R, summer programs through Camp Happy Hours. We appreciate that you have services in the rural parts of the state that are quality and cutting edge.
