Amy Morrison, Children’s Home + Aid employee, said “Thank you for the wonderful donation! You can’t know how much it means to us in these difficult times. We are at risk of closing several of our so very important programs without the state paying us our contracted funding. We look forward to a new relationship with all of you.”

For more than 125 years, Children’s Home + Aid has paved the way by establishing best practices and shaping laws in child welfare, early childhood and juvenile justice.
