        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.

         

        Our Programs and Services:
        With a focus on protecting children, supporting parents, and assisting residents in achieving self-reliance, Tri-County Community Resource Center offers an array of on-site services and referral assistance.

         

        The Resource Center provides services and supports that include the following: children's clothing closet, emergency food closet, early childhood learning referrals, car seat assistance, safe sleep & parenting supports, children's activities, community dinners, counseling referrals, health screenings, free internet/computer use, copying/printing/faxing, public housing application assistance, nutrition education, cooking classes, rent/utility referral assistance (based on availability/eligibility), rotating job board and job application/resume assistance, notary services, financial literacy/budgeting workshops, legal assistance referrals, crisis referrals and much more. The Resource Center offers community-driven services that are regularly updated and expanded. Please consult the monthly calendar for the most up-to-date programs and supports.

      Website Visitors
      
      Like most website operators, TCCR collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. TCCRs’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Top Nonprofits’ visitors use its website.

      TCCR also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. TCCR only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
      
      Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
      Certain visitors to TCCR's website choose to interact with TCCR in ways that require TCCR to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TCCR gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with TCCR are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, TCCR collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with TCCR. Top Nonprofits does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
      
      Aggregated Statistics
      TCCR may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, TCCR may monitor the most popular posts on TopNonprofits.com and may display this information publicly or provide it to others.

      Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
      TCCR discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on TCCR’s behalf or to provide services available at TCCR's website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. TCCR will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, TCCR discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when TCCR believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TCCR, third parties or the public at large. TCCR takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
