Boone County Community Services Department Releases 2017 Annual Report
August 15, 2018 – The Boone County Community Services Department, along with the Boone County Children’s Services Board, will present the Community Services Department’s 2017 Annual Report to the Boone County Commissioners and community on Friday, August 17, 2018. This presentation will include information on the power of prevention and early childhood education, as well as impact statements from key stakeholders and beneficiaries.
The Community Services Department was established in 2014 and is responsible for the administration of the Children’s Services, Community Health, and Domestic Violence Funds for a combined budget of over $7 million a year. The Community Services Department funds 53 programs aimed at improving the lives of Boone County residents. Each funded program is required to submit reports semi-annually to demonstrate the impact of the program services on the individual, family, and community.
We are excited to share information about organizations that have been funded and the impact their work has had on the children, families, and citizens of Boone County. Join us in for our release presentation to be held in the Commission Chambers at 3:00PM on Friday, August 17, 2018.
