Lincoln County Resource Board

In 2006, Lincoln County, Missouri, voters elected to “Put Kids First” by approving a ¼ cent sales tax measure to invest Local Dollars, for Local Kids, with Local Oversight. The measure created a children’s services fund, referred to as the Lincoln County Resource Board (LCRB). LCRB funds 12 agencies with 19 unique programs and services at no out-of-pocket costs to Lincoln County families. This includes:
• Counseling
• Crisis care
• Family support services for infants
• Parenting programs
• Psychiatric services
• Substance use disorder services
• School-based prevention and early intervention programs
• Therapeutic mentoring

During the 2020 LCRB funding cycle, LCRB-funded agencies served 1,827 Lincoln County children and youth with direct clinical services and provided 9,407 Lincoln County kids with prevention education. We created this channel as a way to educate, empower and advocate for the needs of our kids and their mental health.
