kids assisted in 2023
Because every child deserves a childhood.
Our Centers have been safe havens for children of abuse and neglect to be seen, heard, and understood—a place to start their journey of healing for over 20 years. The impact made is undeniable and would not be possible without our generous donors, agency & community partners, annual members, wonderful volunteers, and amazing staff. We will not waver from our vision of ending child abuse and neglect. We're rising to the challenge and ask that you join us as we extend our reach and impact in our communities.
Take a look at the impact we've made in 2023 and the children we served just last year.
