Strong families are at the center of strong communities. That's why our theme is Connections Count. Children live better lives when their families are strong. Families are strong when they live in communities that connect them to networks of support, and to tangible benefits including economic self-sufficiency, reliable childcare, dependable transportation, affordable housing, accessible health care, and applicable education and training. Everyone has a role in making families successful. To learn more about National Family Week, November 21-27, 2004, visit www.nationalfamilyweek.org or call 800-221-2681.
