In a significant move to bolster community support, Surry County has allocated federal COVID-19 relief funds to assist local organizations. This week, Commissioner Melissa Hiatt announced the distribution of an $8,000 check from the remaining Invest in Surry funds to The Parenting PATH program. This initiative aims to provide essential resources and support for families navigating the challenges of parenthood, particularly in the wake of the pandemic.
The Parenting PATH program offers a variety of services, including parenting education, support groups, and resources for families facing difficulties. The infusion of these funds is expected to enhance their ability to serve the community effectively.
Commissioner Hiatt emphasized the importance of investing in local programs that directly impact families, especially during these unprecedented times. The allocation of these funds reflects a commitment to fostering a supportive environment for parents and children alike, ensuring that they have access to the necessary tools for success.
