Charles City County

And so just ways that, you know, we see that we can help one another, we try to include them where we can.

Also, as you touched on about the cancer cases bringing us together, we started the Chickahominy, the Truth Project, which we might talk about later on, but we started a partnership with Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, and it was a two-year project where we worked on seeing if there were environmental factors that were contributing to the increased amount of cancer cases in Charles City County.

We worked on that, and now that grant has expanded so that we can include all 11 tribes in the Commonwealth.

And that, to me, makes me feel real good because it was a great project, but to be able to offer it to all 11 tribes so that they're now getting those resources, they're also getting the education, they're also getting the benefits of the programs from Massey.

It's so needed here in the community.

We're a child care desert.

We have about 6,700 residents here in Charles City County with only one licensed resident.

child care facility that can serve about 60 children, I believe, she can take.
