MISSION:
Children’s Protection Center provides a safer community for children by leading the coordinated response to child abuse and providing hope and healing to families.
Thanks to your generosity, children and families impacted by trauma have access to critical services at no cost to them. Whether it’s a child in crisis, a family searching for hope or someone simply needing to be heard, your support ensures they find a compassionate team ready to walk beside them on their path to hope and healing.
Unfortunately, CPC started experiencing cuts as of July 1, 2025 and will experience an approximate 22% loss in federal funding by the time Giving Guide is published.
The impact of your support is critical in helping CPC restore lives.
