Our
Goals for the Future
Avalon-Carver
Community Center is returning to it's original purpose of providing
a full array of services that will strengthen families, promote
economic self -sufficiency and develop a strong sense of community.
Today, our
community consists not only of people, but networks of providers,
corporate sponsors, politicians, private foundations, public
jurisdictions, HMOs and other managed care providers. The way we must
do business has changed. We have to be able to receive assistance as
it's offered while remaining self- sufficient. We want to return to
old values, make them work within present realities, and anticipate
new challenges.
