Help Us Do More...
Head Start receives only 80% of its
operating budget from the federal government. We have 37 center location
in Dallas County - more than 4,200 children enrolled - and 700 staff
persons managing the day-to-day operations. In addition, we are impacted
by budget cuts each year.
The remaining 20% of our operations
must be generated by us - And that amounts to nearly $8,000,000 each
year. We can't reach this goal without the support of the
community.
These funds help support the purchase of classroom supplies, parent
education and training classes and property maintenance at all our
centers.
Your time volunteering is valuable to our children and
families as well as to Head Start of Greater Dallas.
Community contributions of time, leadership, finances and other
resources are much appreciated and allow us to serve the growing
demographic that needs us so much.
