Nonprofit Families and Communities Together outlines programs; county approves $6,000 allocation
Summary
Terry Biebermeier, executive director of Families and Communities Together, presented the group's year‑end report and grants; the commission voted to allocate $6,000 to support FAC/ACT programming in 2026.
Terry Biebermeier, executive director of Families and Communities Together (FAC), presented the organization’s year‑end report to the Marion County Commission and described programs that serve county residents, including family financial assistance, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, early‑childhood initiatives and substance‑abuse prevention programs.
Biebermeier listed recent grants supporting FAC’s work, including foundation and federal awards for family financial assistance, drug‑prevention education in schools, and early‑childhood services. She highlighted a CDC Drug‑Free Communities grant that funds substance‑abuse prevention coalition activities and described countywide efforts such as school‑based prevention programs and a planned mental‑health wellness space at Tabor College.
After the presentation a commissioner moved to allocate $6,000 from county funds to Families and Communities Together (ACT) for 2026; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners thanked the presenter and encouraged ongoing collaboration.
Why it matters: the county allocation supports nonprofits that provide prevention, early‑childhood, and emergency assistance services to Marion County residents. FAC’s grants and programs appear to supplement county services and outreach efforts.
What’s next: FAC and county staff will coordinate to finalize the allocation and any reporting requirements.
