Objectives of the Danville Area Council of Community Services
The Danville Area Council of Community Services was founded in 1966 to promote the general welfare in Danville and Pittsylvania County. The Council is a non-profit, non-political, and nonsectarian service organization whose objectives are:
1. Identifying public and private resources currently available for improving health, human services, character building, and citizenship services.
2. Identifying unmet needs related to improving health, human services, character building,
and citizenship services and activities.
3. Supplying to the community information about and understanding
of available resources and unmet needs.
4. Encouraging the utilization of existing resources and cooperative
planning to meet identified unmet needs.
A
special project of the Danville Area Council of Community Services is the
printing of this Directory of Community Services, first published in 1969, and
