Dear Friend of SAPCC

Every day in our community….

  • New parents feel isolated and crave a support system
  • Families struggle to secure safe & affordable childcare
  • Young children lack access to fun, enriching experiences crucial for their development
  • Families face fear and uncertainty when navigating their child’s new diagnosis
  • Families are forced to make difficult decisions between necessities
  • Early childhood educators struggle to support increasingly complex student needs

Your support of the Springfield Area Parent Child Center makes an enormous difference in the lives of our neighbors, like Travis and Janel, who were struggling when they first came to us for help:

“When we started working with SAPCC’s Family Support program, things were extremely tough for my wife and I. We had so much stress from financial woes, our marriage was at a low point. 

I believe that SAPCC saved our family. Now, a year later, we are in a much better place.”

“The energy and drive of staff to help my family is contagious…even if we were only able to take care of a small item on our list, they are interested in what we have achieved. This makes us want to meet and share the successes of our family and lives.”

The support system and stability their family gained as a result of your generosity has already had ripple effects: Travis & Janel are now core members of our Family Advisory Council, regularly attend our events and workshops, and their children excelled in PlayWorks.

Because of supporters like you, we are able to work hard towards our vision of a world where…

All parents and caregivers have the supportive village they need, and All children have the opportunities and care they need to reach their full potential.

Thank you for helping people like Travis and Janel by supporting our critical work. 

Please consider giving this year, so that together we can continue to transform lives by building bridges of support for children, families, and caregivers in our community.

P.S. Your gift this year goes even further thanks to a generous Challenge Grant from the Couch Family Foundation. Every dollar raised helps us reach our ambitious goal of raising an additional $200,000 from people like you and from foundations by the end of next summer. Please consider making your most generous gift today!
