1 IN 4 CHILDREN EXPERIENCE ABUSE OR NEGLECT

Shelter Youth & Family Services provides a comprehensive array of services and resources, from emergency shelters to trauma-informed care, all aimed at preventing and ending the cycle of child abuse.

Child abuse and neglect disrupt safety, stability, and hope, and before a child can dream about their future, they must feel safe today. Prevention is where possibility starts.

This April, be The Spark of Hope and make your gift today. Each gift let’s Shelter help another child feel safe and supported again.
