The Community Foundation of North Central Florida presented a $300,000 grant to the Partnership of Strong Families (PSF) on Tuesday to support operation expenses at the Tri-County Community Resources Center (TCCRC) in Chiefland.

According to the PSF release, the contribution will support essential programs and services that benefit individuals and families in Dixie, Gilchrist and Levy counties. TCCRC has been serving the three counties since March 2015 and serves as a hub for resources and to support local families while fostering a stronger, more connected community that cares for its children.

“Partnership for Strong Families is extremely grateful for the generous donation provided through the Community Foundation of North Central Florida,” said Partnership for Strong Families’ CEO Ginger Griffeth in the press release. “Their expertise with facilitating partnerships with donors and nonprofits will strengthen our ability to provide quality family supports at Tri-County Community Resource Center and create a lasting impact across the communities of Dixie, Gilchrist, and Levy Counties

Barzella Papa, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of North Central Florida, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership.

“We are proud to support the important work of the Tri-County Community Resource Center,” Papa said in the release. “At the Community Foundation, we believe in investing in organizations who are creating meaningful change, and we know this grant will help strengthen families and communities across the region.”
