Alliance for Children and Families: National Family Week

The Alliance for Children and Families along with thousands of people across the United States will join together during the 32nd annual National Family Week, November 24-30. This nationwide awareness campaign recognizes strong families and children are at the center of strong communities. National Family Week is observed the week of Thanksgiving, a time when many families traditionally celebrate their connections with one another. Accordingly, the theme, Connections Count, embraces the premise that children live better lives when their families are strong; and families are strong when they live in communities that connect them to quality education, child care, employment opportunities, transportation, and other social investments within the communities where they live and work. Local events are being planned across the country, including family fun festivals, parades, balloon releases, Family Week awards, and art contests.
