Your energy bill doesn't just show how much energy you use...
It can also reveal how efficiently your home uses it.

Through the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), eligible households can receive improvements designed to reduce energy waste, lower energy costs, and create safer, healthier, more comfortable homes.

We understand that every dollar saved on energy is a dollar that can go toward something else a family needs.

This week, Bill Gates wrote about the enormous promise of AI and the disruption it may bring in his blog post: "The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical."

He cautioned that the people who may need the most time and support to adapt are often those who make the least, including workers whose jobs, wages, or hours could be affected by AI and automation.

That's one reason the work of Community Action matters so much.

As our economy changes, community action agencies like I-CARE will be needed not only to help people through difficult moments, but to help individuals and families build skills, access opportunities, have access to reliable workforce infrastructure like Head Start, and move toward greater economic stability.

Dolly Parton spent her life showing what can happen when success is paired with generosity and genuine concern for others.

May we carry her legacy forward, especially in times of change. 💗

Why does family engagement matter?

Research involving more than 154,000 young children found that father involvement is significantly associated with stronger social-emotional development, with fathers’ warmth, responsiveness, and positive engagement all making a difference.

At I-CARE, we know that engaging the whole family helps create a stronger foundation for children to learn, grow, and thrive.

Strong children start with strong families.
Help us strengthen both.

🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT | Meet Debra Whisken 🌟

Investing in our staff creates a ripple effect that reaches far beyond professional development.

This month, we're proud to spotlight Debra Whisken, Professional Development Coordinator, whose work equips our Head Start team with the skills and knowledge they need to best support our children and families.

We asked Debra what she enjoys most about her work.
Her answer says so much about why staff development matters:

💬 “I really enjoy seeing the confidence staff gain as they develop new skills they can use in their work with children and families. I love seeing the excitement on their faces as they watch children achieve a new goal or families share a new accomplishment.

When staff have the right skills and knowledge, they are able to prepare children to become successful learners as they enter school. They are also better equipped to help families advocate for their children, connect with resources they need, and reach the goals they set.

It all has a ripple effect. Children are better prepared to succeed in school, families feel supported and empowered, and they are better able to thrive and strengthen the community.”

That's the ripple effect of investing in people:

✔️ Confidence grows.
✔️ Children grow.
✔️ Families grow.
✔️ Communities grow.

Thank you, Debra, for strengthening our staff and creating a ripple effect that reaches children, families, and our community.

We're so grateful for you! 💙
