What We Do
Tri-County Community Resources, Inc. works to improve the health,
well-being, and overall success of local residents.
Tri-County Community Resource Center
Our Purpose: To Improve the lives of individuals and families living in the Tri-Counties.
Our Mission: To work in partnership with the public by providing services, resources, and information to benefit the needs of our community.
Tri-County Community Resources, Inc. (TCCR) is a grassroots organization comprised of businesses, agencies, and community members dedicated to helping tri-county residents connect to critical services, programs, and supports!
In 2015, after many years of hard work and dedication by TCCR, along with faith-partners, residents, and community leaders who shared a vision, Tri-County Community Resource Center opened its doors. The Resource Center seeks to proactively serve those in need before they reach a crisis. A one-stop "resource hub," the Resource Center uses a community-centered approach to connect those in need with existing resources and supports. TCCR assists by supporting daily operations and identifying gaps in local services/supports, advocating to make these resources available to community members.
Tri-County Community Resource Center has no dedicated state or federal funding stream. The Resource Center is overseen by the TCCR board, which is comprised of nine key community stakeholders dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of tri-county residents. Partnership for Strong Families provides one full-time Resource Center Manager and one part-time administrative support personnel. Additional overhead and programming expenses are sustained through grants, community collaboration, and the generosity of donations.
