Jama Campbell, SECU Foundation Executive Director, spoke at the check presentation ceremony and noted, “SECU Foundation’s grant represents our commitment and support for this organization’s valuable mission in Ashe County. We hope the grant will help Partnership of Ashe build upon their strengths and develop solid strategies for growth to successfully continue a 23-year history of protecting and advocating for children and families through their programs and services.”
Partnership of Ashe works to create opportunities for success through the delivery of programs and resources for children and families, childcare providers, schools and community groups. They also provide emergency housing and support for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault through their A Safe Home For Everyone (A.S.H.E.) program.
“Partnership of Ashe is thrilled to have received this grant from SECU Foundation and extends a special ‘Thank you!’ for choosing us as a recipient,” remarked Kimberly B. Barnes, Partnership of Ashe Executive Director. “This Foundation grant will provide funds to support organizational development work that will help analyze our mission as we determine and construct a plan for positive change. We know these changes will enhance our growth and help us to obtain the information we need to potentially access more funds – it will open doors for our agency and help us create more opportunities for success in the community we serve and for our clients.”
