Grant may help area parents
A grant to benefit parenting
education services in Wallowa,
Baker and Malheur counties
has been awarded to Build-
ing Healthy Families in Enter-
prise. The $82,000 is part of a
multi-year initiative developed
by The Oregon Community
Foundation in partnership with
the Meyer Memorial Trust,
The Ford Family Foundation,
The Collins Foundation and
Oregon State University.
Specific benefits in the
community include increased
partnerships with the health-
care community and expanded
shared programming and
in-clinic services. Other fac-
ets include training of med-
ical partnership staff, more
parent education classes and
expanded partnerships with
Wallowa County school dis-
tricts to increase parenting
education services.
Building Healthy Fami-
lies has been able to become
a community leader, provid-
ing services to more than 475
families per month in a three-
county region.
