Coral Springs residents interested in joining forces with United Way of Broward County's Building Generations should attend a coalition meeting from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 at Family Success Center, 10077 NW 29th St.
In November 2008, the board of directors of United Way of Broward County unanimously decided to fund ARC Broward’s proposal, “Building Generations,” to address the financial stability of low-income families and seniors in Coral Springs.
“The program was well presented, strongly collaborative and has the potential to be replicated throughout our community,” O’Flannery Anderson said.
In June this year, the Building Generations initiative held its first community wide event—a free Financial Literacy Fair for Coral Springs residents. The event provided quality financial information and education in a fun environment and increased awareness of financial issues and supportive services for Coral Springs residents.
Administered by ARC Broward, Building Generations is a major impact initiative of the United Way of Broward County. Other community partners of the Building Generations initiative include The City of Coral Springs, CareSource, FLIPANY, Minority Development and Empowerment, Inc., RESBEAT, Senior Volunteer Services and Broward County. Teen service hour opportunities and job placement are also available.
