Each year, Community Action Partnership of Strafford County honors an outstanding staff member who embodies the mission and vision of the agency. This year’s Mission Award winner is Family Advocate Denise Day, whose passion and compassion have improved the lives of countless children and families in her 16 years at CAPSC.

Denise is a constant when it comes to our success stories and community outreach. She has an unmatched and unwavering ability to be both a powerful and a supportive force in the lives of the people she serves.

“I just feel like she is one of the main reasons for my stability with my daughter. From the moment I got to Dover, I needed somebody and Denise was that somebody and she continued to be.”

– Cheryl, a local resident and single mother who is thriving thanks in large part to Denise

Denise also does it all with a level of kindness and dedication that improves the lives of the coworkers around her.

“It’s just so inspiring to see how much she cares.”

– Heather Woods, Early Head Start Home Visitor

We’re honored to select Denise as the 2023 Mission Award winner, and hope our gratitude and love for Denise come through in the attached video that we made to help celebrate her at our 57th Annual Meeting in May! Thank you, Denise, and congratulations!
