About First in Families
First In Families of Mecklenburg County (FIF) has been a project of InReach since,
1999. We offer support to families and individuals according to their self-defined needs.
Examples of supports include computers, home furnishings or modifications, childcare or
respite, or repairs to vehicles. Support can also be connecting individuals to vocational,
social, and educational opportunities in the community. In addition, FIF can help
families with linking sibling caregivers and help plan for the future by exploring
alternatives to guardianship, special needs trusts, and personal networks of support.
First In Families does not offer a “menu” of services because our philosophy instead is
to ask questions and listen to families explain what supports they need to remain
independent in their own home and active within the community.
This program can help when all other options have been exhausted. Visit us at
www.fifnc.org for more information.

It is a huge amount so I am pretty sure that a lot of interested to join the camp. But before anything else, they must thank First in Families of Mecklenburg County (FIF) for organizing such activity. To come up with such huge amount is already a challenge. From there, we can see that they are really making an effort just to make us happy, so that is something that we should appreciate! I am hoping that they are going to make the same activity this year!
