MISSION
It is the mission of the Curry County Commission on Children and Families to develop and execute a plan to continually identify, coordinate and provide needed services to the community, thereby enabling our children and families to achieve their fullest potential
In 1993, the Oregon Legislature’s House Bill 2004 created the Oregon Commission on Children and Families. This new way of offering services and supports to children and families strives to:
Support healthy communities. Mobilize and support local planning and decision-making. Build collaborations. Develop policies and standards of accountability.

The CCCCF partners with other organizations in the community to develop and support necessary projects and programs. The CCCCF also works to bring in State, Federal, and Foundation dollars to promote the wellness of local families. And best of all, these are our neighbors making recommendations about what we need locally.
