Also on the show, Jade Harrell welcomes William H. Young, Chief Executive Officer with the Annie Malone Children and Family Service Center.

Most of us are familiar with the May Day Parade. However, most people have no idea that the Parade is a fundraiser to help decrease youth homelessness and prevent child abuse and neglect. Most people don’t know that Annie Malone Children and Family Service Center (AMCFSC) hosts the parade and helps families in the community experiencing crises.

The newly appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer of Annie Malone, William H. Young said that it’s his mission to elevate awareness behind the purpose of the parade. New to his position he’s eager to inform the community about Annie Malone Children and Family Service Center and the exceptional services they provide.

CEO William H. Young said the Board of Directors of Annie Malone is charting a new direction and repositioning the Center for the future. With the Board’s vision, Mr. Young has several goals and is ready to put them into action.

All of the programs revolve around providing a safe and complete service to address the needs of children and families in crisis. Annie Malone is a proud member of the United Way.
