United Community Action Program, Inc.
Annual Report
During our past program year, from August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010, we accomplished much. We started off the year funded to serve 1,030 Head Start Children (3 & 4 year-old's) and 250 Early Head Start Children (0 to 3 year-old's) and Pregnant Women. We were excited to receive additional funding to serve 74 more EHS Children and Pregnant Women.
This expansion meant we needed to add additional classroom space, purchase additional classroom equipment, and hire and train new staff. While this project kept us busy, we were excited for the opportunity to serve EHS children and pregnant women in communities where we have never been able to serve them; Blackwell, Cleveland, Perry, Ponca City, and we will soon open in Pawnee.
Our staff, parents, Board of Directors, Policy Council, and children have worked hard to reach our goals. We are proud to briefly share some of our other accomplishments with you.
However, even as we look back at our accomplishments, we eagerly anticipate the achievements of the year ahead, striving to make tomorrow even better than yesterday.
