At CK Family Services, some of the most impactful work happens behind the scenes, where the day-to-day operations run smoothly, thanks in large part to the dedication of our incredible front office team. This month, we’re giving you a closer look at the Arlington and Plano offices, where three extraordinary women—Lori Kay Park, Lori Hunt, and Phunh Soto—keep things running like clockwork.

The Arlington Front Office: Organized Chaos with a Smile

“People united through God to enhance the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of at-risk children and families.”

At CK Family Services, our mission is not just a statement on a page—it is the heartbeat of everything we do.  It is more than words. It is a call to action, a guiding principle, and a reminder of the purpose that drives us each day.

Growing up, we never had a regular Christmas tree. That may have been because my mom was creative, or it might have been because we were poor and necessity is the mother of invention. Perhaps it was both. About two weeks before the 25th, my mom and dad would go to the woods and find a limb that she thought was just right. My dad would then affix the limb to a platform, and Mom would put flocking on it and hang “icicles” and cheap treats from the branches. It was fantastic!
