March was\u00a0Women’s History Month<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and determination of women who have refused to let obstacles define them. At Focus Points, that spirit lives in every corner of our organization. From Lorraine Granado, the visionary activist and founder of the Cross Community Coalition that grew into what we know today as Focus Family Resource Center, to our current educators, specialists, and leaders who show up every day for our community, we are proud to celebrate the incredible women who make Focus Points what it is today.<\/p>\n

Here’s to all of them!<\/p>\n
