The Center for Family Resources

Through our Annual Gala, we come together in celebration and support of our mission. While this year didn’t go as planned, we are grateful to our 2020 Gala Sponsors. We couldn’t do our work without them. Let’s travel back this #WaybackWednesday to our previous celebrations.

Congratulations to our CEO, Melanie Kagan! She has been recognized in Cobb Life Magazine’s The 2020 Cobb Life: 20 in their 40s list for her role in the community. Access the full list of the individuals highlighted and their profiles in the magazine’s January edition.

From the CFR family to yours, we want to wish you a safe and happy holiday season. Thank you for your continued support of our mission. Merry Christmas! We will be closed December 23-25 and will be back on December 28.

Support our High Five for $5 Campaign today! By giving a $5, $25 or $50 monthly gift to CFR or a $500, $1,000 or $2,500 end-of-year gift, you can help Cobb families stay in their home and avoid the trauma of homelessness. Donate here: https://bit.ly/2Vovinq

CFR’s programs provide families with the opportunity to rebuild their lives. We are so grateful to our friends at Wellstar Health System for their generosity this holiday season. Employees from Clinical Integration, the Wellstar Medical Group and the Nursing Executive Leadership Team collected and donated Housing Kits for families in our programs. These kits provide our families with everything they need for a good start in their new journey towards self-sufficiency as well as an opportunity to stay together. Thank you Wellstar!

Through our Annual Gala, we create a fun space to come together not only in support but also in celebration of our mission. This year didn’t go as planned but we would like to say Thank You to our 2020 Gala Sponsors. We couldn’t do our work without them. #waybackwednesday
