The Mary Hill Family Service Center is a member of Alabama Network of Family Resource Centers. The 23-member network includes the Alfred Saliba Family Service Center in Dothan, the Coffee County Family Service Center in Enterprise, and the Troy Resilience Project in Troy. The center is also a member of the Dale County Association of Service Agencies.
Kamerer facilitates Materials and Skills Toward Employment Resilience - M.A.S.T.E.R. - classes weekly at the center. “The classes are free professional development classes, open to anyone,” Kamerer said. “People who have been out of the workforce for a while may be intimidated with all the online forms,” he said, adding that they are happy to assist. “We have laptops here, thanks to Alabama Power,” Knight said.
“He is so skilled at discovering the real need that brings a person to our doors,” Knight said. “Adam does a lot of case management. He finds out what they need, what the barrier is keeping that person from going to work.” The Ozark Boys and Girls Club recently donated items for the center’s hygiene closet and Vivian B. Adams School brought a large donation of paper products,” Knight said. “The employees at Carr, Riggs and Ingram donated nearly 200 hygiene product bags.”
