Our new Capital Campaign and how you can help!
.jpg)
By now you may have heard that we have launched our Capital Fund-raising Campaign to complete our new facility.
With the number of reported cases of sexual abuse increasing and our previous limited space, The Center Board and staff were restricted on the type and quality of services or services we could provide.
Our new home at 2350 G Road allows us to coordinate meetings with agencies, provide advocacy and on-site mental health services, ensure legally sound interviews and proper forensic examinations, and facilitate education and community referrals.
With our expanded facility and renovations, The Center has a therapy wing as well as a warm and private environment that provides a safe space for children and families to begin their recovery. However, we need your help to complete many modifications to serve families we help on their path to healing. This Information Sheet will give you more details.
You can see the recent story at The Daily Sentinel, which highlights more of the plans for our future.
If you would like to explore donation options or learn more about how The Center provides children and families with the support needed to begin the healing process, please call us at 970-245-3788. We would love to tell you more!
