The Valentine Children and Families Committee is gathering information on services that are available for our youth and information on what areas we need further support in. If you haven't already, please take the time to provide your input through the survey link below--need to take it by Monday! This information is being gathered through our committee and the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation. Once the information is collected, a community meeting will be held to share the results and develop action plans. Your input is valuable and we would like for you voice to be heard. Thank you!
