Mid-State Invites Partners To Help At-Risk Kids Thrive

 
LYNCHBURG, Va. - June 1, 2022 - PRLog -- Sometimes it really does take the proverbial village to help vulnerable children flourish in a mixed-up world.

Under the umbrella of the Vision 30 regional initiative (https://visionthirty.org/) and Patrick Henry Family Services, that village now includes Mid-State Cares and dozens of other agency, church, community and family partners throughout Central Virginia.

As of late May, the consortium has already served 1,738 children in Central Virginia (2969 across Virginia)through its online resource portal. The Vision 30 CarePortal (https://www.careportal.org/ connects diverse resources to muster a network of support for struggling kids.

There are almost 24 million children under age 6 in the United States. Almost half or 11.4 million children live in low-income or poor families. This includes 12 percent or nearly three million children who live in extreme poverty, according to the National Center for Children in Poverty.

An unhealthy family is like a dangerous river, filled with rocks, debris and fast-moving water, explained a Vision 30 spokesperson.

"This river swiftly leads to the steep waterfall of adulthood, tragically forming a new river of dysfunction. Even if you're not born into an unhealthy river, there are many streams that cause a person to get there, such as addiction, homelessness, and sex trafficking," said the non-profit's website.

"Service-minded employees now have a common platform to share their unique gifts, strengths and spirit to better serve their communities," said John Austin S. Basten, president of The Mid-State Group. As Mid-State's non-profit charity, Mid-State Cares offers employers and employees streamlined on-site setup, training and access to the online CarePortal.

"Care committees build a culture of compassion and giving that brings employees together in a shared mission to enable stronger, healthier communities," added Basten. Positive workplace cultures usually rank high for greater productivity, lower costs and increased profitability, according to Gallup Research

"If you're aware of a true need in your community or if your company wants to participate, please call us at 434-528-1001. All responses are confidential," Basten said.
