OF
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of Honoring )
the 25th Anniversary of ) RESOLUTION NO. 91/ 268
PROJECT HEAD START )
In 1965, an innovative eight-week child care program for pre-
school-aged children of low-income families was launched by the
federal Office of Economic Opportunity. Now, 25 years later
Project Head Start has serviced over 10.9 million children
nationwide. We applaud this terrific accomplishment.
In Contra Costa County, over 800 children participate in the
program annually. Without Head Start, children from low-income
families would not receive the kind of early childhood education
necessary for healthy 'development. . It also provides working
parents quality child care so they are able to go to work knowing
that their children are being cared for in a nurturing, educa-
tional, and safe environment.
We extend to the numerous providers and volunteers of Project Head
Start our highest commendation for this vital program that has
given millions of needy children a "head start" in life.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors honors
the 25th Anniversary of PROJECT HEAD START and wishes it another 25
successful years of operation.
PASSED AND ADOPTED ON May 7, 1991, by a unanimous vote of the Board
members present.
