WakeUp! with TFS 2026

The Power of Partnership

Every day in Wake County, families face challenges that no single organization can solve alone.

A survivor seeking safety.
A parent striving to provide stable housing.
A child navigating trauma.
A family working to rebuild financial stability.

At Triangle Family Services, we know that lasting change doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens through partnership.

For 89 years, TFS has served as a trusted anchor for families in crisis, walking alongside them as they move from instability to strength. But behind every success story is something even more powerful: a network of partners working together to make that transformation possible.

WakeUp! with TFS 2026 celebrates The Power of Partnership—
The collaboration of nonprofits, healthcare providers, financial institutions, government agencies, and community leaders who are working collectively to build stronger families and a stronger community.

Throughout this inspiring morning, you will see how these partnerships come to life:

How coordinated systems are providing family safety and, helping families rebuild safely
How mental health providers are working together to ensure no child falls through the cracks
How financial counseling and community-based partnerships are creating pathways out of poverty
How innovative housing collaborations are responding to urgent and emerging needs across the Triangle

These are not isolated efforts.
They are connected solutions—and they are changing lives.

Because when partnerships are strong, families are stronger.

Last year alone, these efforts led to:

473 individuals completing the DOSE program, helping prevent future domestic violence
1,221 individuals and families gaining housing stability
1,500+ mental health sessions delivered, providing critical care and healing

But the need continues to grow—and so must our partnerships.

This is more than an event.
It is a call to action.

To sponsor.
To partner.
To advocate.

Because together, we can ensure every family has the opportunity not just to survive—but to thrive.
