Pennyrile Allied Community Services is working to strengthen families and prevent child abuse across Western Kentucky — thanks to a statewide program that’s making a real difference for parents and caregivers.
Through the Community Collaboration for Children Grant, or CCC Grant, families can receive free, in-home support to help them through tough times — from parenting struggles to financial stress.
Sabrina Davis, Regional Coordinator for the grant through the PACS office, says the goal is to support parents before problems grow too big.
