D.A.R.N. (Developmental Assets Resource Network)

DARN (Developmental Assets Resource Network) strives to meet the needs of Bexley children and families through the allocation of community resources, funding of camp scholarships, and engagement in policy-making efforts to assure these groups have access to necessary resources.

Some in the Bexley community find themselves challenged from time to time to make ends meet and provide for their families. Sometimes families need help with “life’s extras,” while others need periodic assistance with more basic needs, such as food and clothing. When such needs arise, families can turn to DARN for support.

Students and families can contact their building school counselor for more information or visit darncares.org for more general information about the organization.
