Mission Moments

This organization has a staff of people genuinely committed to helping their community! Every time I’ve called or visited, the people there have been kind, knowledgeable, and had a sincere desire to help in any way they could. In my experience here I learned more than I ever expected, and left feeling much better than I did when I came.

He’s more focused, well mannered, and he has better self-esteem.

My child now has an increased knowledge and awareness, especially after reading and going over the homework and other paper brought home from the program.

Since Discovery Kids, she has shown a lot more responsibility and is trying to be more of a leader.

The program is a different approach to teach a child about important issues. These issues can be really hard to talk about.

My son has a better judgement when selecting foods and choosing foods lower in fat. The whole family has learned a lot too!

I liked the program. You shared an important message to our kids, such as how to prevent problems with alcohol and drugs. Thank you!

I think the program is wonderful and my child loves to go to CATCH Kids Club!

My son runs, walks, and jumps on the trampoline more often. We also go for walks to the park more often as a family.

The first time I attended Tree of Hope, I was living at Hope Harbor two years ago. Representatives of CNCAA had visited while I was in treatment at St. Francis ADTC. What wonderful gifts and literature I have purchased from the store. I plan to utilize the tobacco free program in the future. Thank you for supporting my recovery!

Kids Power 2 helps me to be drug free and helps me with my mom’s problem.
I feel passionate about spreading any type of help for families going through the devastation of addiction. More importantly, showing families that there is hope and solutions to live a beautiful, fun, and peace-filled life.
Being a part of an organization that cares so much about the community is a place I want to be. Until we, as community members, come together as a force to educate those needing assistance, we struggle. CNCAA has mission to be that force.
CNCAA helped me in the very beginning of my recovery process with their wonderful lending library.
I always visited to get medallions, cards, or books. Staff was always friendly and helpful. The Council was very important to my daughter and that is what made me want to get involved. I had not realized all the kids programs offered, but that is the main reason I want to stay involved. Prevention is key. Thank you Connie and staff for all you do!

Thank you! Kids Power gave us HOPE!
Kids Power really helped my children cope with a life changing effect of alcoholism. It gave them the tools and confidence to get through.

I like getting together to see friends at Kids Power 2 that I don’t usually get to see. I am concerned for my friends. Kids Power 2 is fun and so is getting to go to Timberlake.
