Finding Solutions: New clinic opens at Aiken County high school
When you’re sick, you want to get to the clinic as soon as you can, but that’s simply not possible for everyone based on where you live.
“Many of our programs are resource-building programs,” said Hillman. “Families come to us not because they don’t have, but sometimes people want to enhance the resources that they have.”
And it’s able to do just that through initiatives such as the parents as teachers program.
“It helps them with safety classes, making sure your baby is in an appropriate sized car seat, making sure that your baby is sleeping safely,” said Hillman.
They also are here to provide necessities like baby formula.
Augusta Partnership for Children holds giveaways when the items are available.
“We have been fortunate enough to receive a surplus of baby formula, and so of course we want to make sure it’s available for as many families as possible,” she said.

A program designed to get people in the construction industry is back in Augusta and it’s being offered to you at no cost.
Hillman says they’re looking to continue ing the community through their large annual fundraiser, a charity soiree and silent auction event.
“Many times we have families in situations that require other things and so when we raise funds, we can utilize those dollars to provide additional services that can’t be covered through some of our services through our grants,” said Hillman.
We’re told through this fundraiser they would like to get a program called, the Family Self-sufficiency Initiative up and running again. It’s filled with a lot of resources and parents can learn from one another while developing a plan to make their lives better.
The event is taking place on Feb. 21, at the Augusta Shrine Club, starting at 6 p.m.
