The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore has supported many WYFCS programs throughout the years with its diverse funding.  Most recently, their Workforce Development grant provided funds to help train our therapy interns in providing a much needed service to our area.

Worcester County Local Management Board (LMB), Worcester County’s Initiative To Preserve Families, has been a central partner in supporting our agency programs and serving families in the community.  They currently provide funding for our Worcester Connects mentoring program and our Worcester Navigation resource linkage program, helping children and families “shine.”

The Town of Ocean City has been a consistent support for many years.  It provides funding that helps our mental health and youth programs, so that we can continue to offer high quality services at little or no cost!

The United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore is one of our largest supporters for funding WYFCS programs, specifically our Mental Health Counseling program.   Funds go toward costs associated with the clinical program and specifically toward clients who have difficulty affording therapy costs.

The Worcester County Commissioners have been a wonderful partner for many years.  Their support of our mission is greatly appreciated, as funds assist with operational costs that help us help the community.

The Town of Berlin has been an amazing partner of WYFCS for many years.  It has sponsored our Youth Programs, specifically the Berlin Youth Club, which has offered a free summer camp and enrichment activities to children in Berlin.

The Donny Williams Foundation provided funds to our Worcester Connects Mentor Program so that we could provide more staffing and activities for our participants.  We offer 1:1 mentoring,  host monthly mentor groups, and have over 40 students participating in the program.

The Jesse Klump Foundation  has been an active partner in helping spread suicide awareness in the community.  They have also provided funding for our therapists to attend trainings which have furthered their ability to treat mental health issues and specifically suicide.

Carefirst provided generous funding to help us expand our behavioral health workforce and increase access to mental health care in our community.  We have been able to actively recruit clinicians, offer paid trainings, and host an on-site wellness room.  We also started a clinical internship program, hosting 1 to 2 interns per year.  We are happy to report that we retained our first two interns as clinicians!

The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) has provided funding so that victims of crime do not have to pay for mental health counseling.  For over 8 years this has allowed us to serve those individuals and help them recover from their traumas without worrying about therapy costs.

The Humphreys Foundation has been a supporter of WYFCS since 2012 helping to cover such costs as a van for youth programs, technology upgrades, and assistance with the Berlin Youth Club summer camp.  The legacy of Dr. Mary Humphreys is still making an impact in the community today!
