Cox Communications Adopts Project Access’ Family Resource Center in Mission Viejo

Project Access announced that Cox Communications (Cox) has adopted its Family Resource Center at Arroyo Vista Apartments in Mission Viejo. This new collaboration will allow Project Access to provide critical services—such as financial education, after-school programming for youth, and health services—to low-income residents of the apartment community. Cox presented a check of $7,500 to sponsor the program during National Night Out Day festivities.

“Project Access is delighted to establish a collaboration with Cox Communications to serve low-income families in Mission Viejo,” said Kathy McCarrell, president and CEO of Project Access. “This will play an instrumental role in our ability to reach families and children who have a critical need for our support.”

The unique Adopt-A-Center program engages corporate partners in “adopting” a specific Family or Senior Resource Center within Project Access’ portfolio of more than 60 centers. Banks and corporations that adopt a Project Access resource center make an annual contribution of $7,500 or $5,000 depending on the size of the apartment community. Funds from the Adopt-A-Center program directly support on-site programs and services.

“Cox understands the importance of serving the communities in which our employees and customers live and work,” said Sam Attisha, senior vice president and California region manager. “Supporting the Family Resource Center at Arroyo Vista Apartments is part of our ongoing commitment to the city of Mission Viejo and its residents.”

Project Access’ Family Resource Center at Arroyo Vista Apartments serves 156 apartment units. Programming is available at no cost to the estimated 500 residents of the community. For more information on Project Access and the Adopt-A-Center program, visit www.project-access.org.
