Community Network Services

Community Network Services

We offer a variety of services, which are tailored to the education and support of our growing families in the community. 

In 2025, 77 families received support navigating the OPWDD Front Door eligibility process, securing developmental evaluations, accessing housing, clothing, and emergency food resources, enrolling children in Head Start, and obtaining educational services through their local Preschool Special Education Committees.

Due to the retirement of Nancy Lonczak after 45 years of dedicated service, along with other staffing challenges, the Race to 10,000 Words program was paused in 2025. We are pleased to share that Nancy has since returned, and the program is scheduled to resume in the second quarter of 2026.
