Wilson Announces Grant for the Center for Fathers and Families

Promotes Responsible Fatherhood

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) today announced the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families has been awarded nearly $450,000 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Wilson visited the Center during his August district bus tour.

“I have visited with fathers involved in this program and have heard first-hand the difference the Center for Fathers and Families has made in their lives. Through peer support groups and encouragement from mentors and directors, these men have become responsible fathers and citizens.

“I am pleased the Department of Health and Human Services recognizes the impact the Center is having on the Columbia community and has seen fit to provide funds for its growth and continuation.”
