Child & Family’s Special Events & Development Committees
As you know, the past few years have been challenging for everyone. Services provided by Child & Family have never been in such demand as they are right now, with waitlists in every one of our programs. Between the pandemic, the housing crisis, and inflation, the most vulnerable population in our community desperately needs our help. Child & Family is always looking for Community Partners to support our programs.
If you are interested in joining us as an event sponsor for our 40th Annual Taste of Newport on Sunday, October 29, 2023, please see our sponsorship opportunities packet.
Please reach out if you would like to discuss these opportunities further.
Thank you for supporting the mission of Child & Family!
