Region X services are funded with federal and state dollars, business and private donations. All services are provided on a contribution basis. No one is denied service because of an inability to contribute. The Agency, along with its contractors, relies heavily upon contributions, donations, and volunteers to serve as many people as possible.

Donations are extremely important to our funding and make it possible for us to continue the many programs we offer in our service area.
