WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

Our Purpose is "To positively impact the health, general welfare, and education of underprivileged children in our community. We accomplish this by helping families in crisis and through partnerships with other non-profit organizations serving children in need." We accomplish this in two ways: 

By partnering with local children's Organizations and through our Immediate Response Fund for Individuals and Special Projects.

                             WE WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS                                                                     

  Children's Aid Club establishes relationships with schools in low-income areas and selected charitable organizations providing services to families in need. This enables CAC to reach more children, both in groups as well as individuals. 

A liaison works with each school or organization to identify its needs, propose an annual budget to CAC and ensure that budgeted funds are used effectively and efficiently to benefit as many children as possible.

WE WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS

Through our Immediate Response Fund for Families, Children's Aid Club is able to act swiftly to provide financial assistance to families with children for short-term crisis situations. Families referred to us from our partner organizations are screened to qualify their needs, expenses, income, and ability to sustain themselves in the future.       By working directly with creditors, we are sure that funds are being spent in accordance with our funding guidelines.
