The Childrens Fund
The Children's Fund, established in 1988, is one of HHRC's outstanding projects. The dedicated Steering Committee strives to develop new and innovative funding alternatives to enhance present government funded programs. Currently, The Children's Fund assists HHRC to operate two child development centers in West Palm Beach. Both centers offer quality child care for low income, disadvantaged families and children at risk. Providing child care and development services to over 300 children ranging in age from infant to 5 years, HHRC also ensures each child receives a nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack on a daily basis. A large number of children have been referred by the State Department of Children and Families due to abuse, neglect or because they are considered to be 'at risk'. Government funding is diminishing while the number of children requiring help continues to grow. The need for private funding is profound. Therefore it is very important that assistance from the private sector be obtained. Please take a moment to carefully consider this worthwhile project.
