MCCWB house open house planned for Sept. 8

This is a story about a house, a house born of a dream. Love and hope created the house’s foundation. Opportunity for healing and resilience exist behind its windows and doors. The dream, the goal, the house’s sole purpose for existence, is to build a community of better families.
The cries of children suffering from the epidemic of abuse and neglect in Montague County sparked the dream. Lack of volunteers, money, and professional resources made the house and its mission only a pipe dream. In 2009, undeterred by the obstacles, the Montague County Child Welfare Board solicited funding from generous donors and the Priddy Grant to purchase an old house that is now paving the way for a new future.
Members of the Montague County Welfare Board would like to invite the public to attend an open house from noon to 3 p.m. on Sept. 8 to view the recently completed renovations. There will be free hamburgers and hot dogs served.
The public is invited to attend and see what the mission of the Montague County Child Welfare Board is all about.
The MCCWB house, located at 506 Hulme, now serves as home base for numerous agencies and volunteers seeking to wrap the most vulnerable members of our community in all the care we can provide. The goal is to provide “Wrap Around Care,” for every child suffering from the unimaginable.
The Bowie house represents a family of organizations, volunteers and professionals who believe in the community the house brings together and the services the house inspires, can in fact build better families. Read the full story in your mid-week Bowie News.
