Every donation makes our mission of helping children and families overcome sexual abuse possible. Donations are tax-deductible and always appreciated.
Year-Round Needs
The Center likes to provide a stuffed animal or book to each child following the initial forensic interview. The Center also provides soft drinks, water, individually packaged fruit juices, and “Little Debbie”–type snacks for victims and their families. These items help to lift the spirits of young children who have experienced the trauma of sexual or severe physical abuse.
