RALEIGH, N.C.– The SECU Foundation has made a $700,000 grant to the Children’s Center of Northwest North Carolina (CCNWNC) to help build a new facility to expand programs for children and families in need.
The opening of the SECU Campus of CCNWNC in Dobson increased the organization’s capacity to provide programs that support the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse, as well as services for neglected and at-risk youth in Surry and six surrounding counties in the northwest region. The $700,000 SECU Foundation grant will help CCNWNC serve an additional 200 children and families through the new campus.
“Since its establishment in 1998, Children’s Center of Northwest North Carolina has done a phenomenal job of serving the community and the need for their services continues to rise,” said Damian Carter, SECU regional senior vice president. “SECU Foundation is happy to help this organization grow and expand its programs for families in this area.”
“It is inspiring to see how our community has spoken with their time, energy, and financial gifts. I would like to give a special thank you to SECU Foundation, who led the way, as none of this would be possible without their support and the support of many others,” said Coad Westerra, CCNWNC board chair. “The new facility has helped create a unified statement about our community – one that tells those inside and outside our community what we value most, our families and our children. Thank you for being a part of making this dream a reality and showing your support for this great community.”
