The center provides a loving and structured home for up to 36 boys and girls ages 8-18, who are not currently able to be placed in a traditional foster care setting because of the extreme trauma they have endured. SJBCC provides a caring home for youth in addition to therapeutic services. This new playground equipment helps provide a home-like environment for these children.
Ameren, RASI, Gonzalez Companies, Archford Capital, Walmart, and William H. & Mary E. Baker Charitable Trust have all provided grants and resources to help this expansion happen. Ameren will be presenting a $45,000 check to Caritas at the event.
This event will kick off Caritas Family Solutions' 75th anniversary, a year celebrating the work Caritas does for the communities they serve.
