Significant growth in ccFi clients. CCFI served close to 2,000 clients in 2011 and experienced a 58% increase in the number of children and youth served at Neighborhood Centers (total of 567 children) and a 37% increase in the number of clients served with healing and preventing child abuse and neglect services.

ccFi is out of space for current services and has no room to expand. Today, CCFI borrows or leases 25,000+ square feet of space – with most of that space borrowed. Borrowed space limits CCFI’s service delivery times and options whereas integrating services – under one roof – allows CCFI to expand and improve services in ways that are simply not possible in our current situation.

“Our community has experienced a significant increase in the number of abused and neglected children and families living

in poverty. Because of limited facility space, CCFI cannot help everyone who seeks our support. I can no longer look the other way, but must face the hopeful eyes of the children and

parents on our waiting list. Please help us provide a brighter future for our children and our community.”

How to Give

RenOvatiOn Phase 1

The Center for Children and Families, Inc. (CCFI) serves children and youth ages 0 to 18 - and their families - who have experienced, or are at risk of experiencing child abuse, neglect or other adverse experiences.

Children’s play therapy•Family therapy •Child/parent relationship therapy•Parent support groups•

A low child to adult ratio •One-on-one mentoring•Gender-specific group mentoring •Family-oriented events •

Strengthening FamiliesCCFI’s goal is to help families establish positive, parent-child relationships through a variety of services, including:

Basic Needs: Baby PantryStocked by in-kind donations from the

community, CCFI’s Baby Pantry offers diapers, formula, and wipes for families in need. Last year,

the Baby Pantry distributed nearly 40,000 diapers, hundreds of wipes and cans of formula. Baby

Pantry visitors are invited to select a free book to encourage parents to read to their children.

a proven track record. More than 40 years old, CCFI has a strong

reputation for financial stability and excellent stewardship. Our annual operating budget of $1.5 million comes from a combination of federal, state and community resources,

as well as private contributions. Our programs and financials are evaluated

annually by outside auditors with consistent documentation of effectiveness.

a great return on investment. Reaching children as early as possible after a traumatic experience, or preventing one from happening at all, cost less than remediation

later in life. Investing in the “front end” of a child’s life saves public dollars that could

otherwise be spent on drug treatment, unemployment, or prison. Research has proven the return on investment can be as great as $7 saved for every $1 invested in early childhood.

taking on the tough challenges. We work with vulnerable children and families

in some of the most heavily impoverished neighborhoods in our community. We reach

children and families that have yet been identified by or, in some cases, who have been

turned away by other providers. At CCFI we believe that there is no such thing as “lost

causes” and that change and healing are possible - for individuals, families, and communities.
