Child welfare board launching new campaign
The Montague County Child Welfare Board has announced the “Change for the Children” campaign and during the next few weeks you will see donation jars appearing on counters of local businesses.
This is the launch of a campaign to bring about change for the children and families of Montague County. The board is asking for help from county citizens to help us make this program possible by dropping their change into the jars.
By providing “wrap-around” care it is the hope of the board to build better families for Montague County and keep them out of the system.
The Montague County Child Welfare Board has long provided for the needs of children in Child Protective Services care, and in recent years has been instrumental in making services these children/families need available in county.
Longtime board member Lorra Lierly said having services available locally greatly increases the odds children/families will be able to get the assistance they need. Having to drive to Wichita Falls, Decatur or Denton to get services creates a barrier that many families cannot overcome. Read the full story in your weekend Bowie News.
