The Center for Working Families and the Northwest Georgia YWCA received $2,500 grants from Verizon Wireless this week to help promote healthy relationships between fathers and children.

The Center for Working Families’ The Fatherhood Program, connects fathers with legal, mental health and jobs resources to help them be involved in their children’s lives. The YWCA’s Y’s Guys Committee is focused on spreading the world against domestic violence.

The grants were granted this week as a celebration of Father’s Day.
