Civitan Services is committed to helping those we serve reach their dreams and that includes helping them find the resources they need to get there. We don’t always have the answers, but we will work with our families to find them.
We have gathered a list of websites and organizations that we find helpful. There are General sites, Resources specifically for issues facing Children and Resources for Adults.
If you are interested in resources on planned giving, naming a guardian, setting up a trust, or advice on how to protect your family member’s benefits, click here.
