A fence might seem like a small thing. But for Andrea, it’s a big step toward building a licensed child care business in Butler, Missouri.

With years of child care experience and a home thoughtfully prepared for young learners, Andrea saw an opportunity to meet a real need in her rural community.

Through a New Growth Women’s Business Center microloan and connections to the Family Child Care Champions program, she’s getting support to turn that opportunity into a growing business.

Because expanding rural child care means investing in the entrepreneurs and professionals who provide it.

❤️ Read Andrea’s story and see what a difference the right support can make.

We were privileged to host Butler Area Chamber of Commerce's Coffee and Commerce on Friday morning, complete with a delicious breakfast prepared by our nutrition services team.

We also had the opportunity to offer a quick tour of the Long-Nissen Infusion Center. It’s a beautiful space we’re proud to share, but because it’s tucked away within the hospital, many in our community haven’t had the chance to see it.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning a success!

Special thanks to Jana Rosier, Julie Highley and Kristina Core for coming out!
