The Ottawa County Family Advocacy Center advocates for the stability and success of children and families in Ottawa County. Its new outreach, GRANDlove, is a program focused on meeting the needs

of grandparents (and other adults) who have stepped up to raise their grandchildren as well as addressing the needs of the grandchildren themselves. The GRANDlove program is still recruiting people who might be interested in knowing more about the services the outreach can offer. Those willing to join the outreach program should contact Program Coordinator Judy Peters,(jpeters@gmail.com or 419-301-0225) and attend next Grandparent Café on Tuesday, March 12, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church,122 West Ottawa St., Oak Harbor. Call for reservations.

Grandparent Cafes are evenings of sharing, learning and making new friends. Dinner is served at 5:30 p.m.. Child care, door prizes, gas cards, and goodie bags for the kids are provided. OCTA service will be arranged without cost on request.
