Home Improvements Capital Campaign for the Wichita Street Campus.latest update.Wichita Street Project receives $1.5 million gift to name Residential Services Building.The Rees-Jones Foundation announced in October that ACH would receive a $1.5 million contribution to support the renovations of the Residential Services Building on the Wichita Street Campus. “We are humbled by the generosity of The Rees-Jones Foundation and are grateful for their commitment to protecting children and preserving families,” said Dr. Wayne Carson, CEO of ACH Child and Family Services. Founded in 2006 by Jan and Trevor Rees-Jones, The Rees-Jones Foundation is a private foundation that provides support and funding for programs that tangibly improve the quality of life for people in need, primarily in North Texas. The Rees-Jones Foundation focuses on the areas of Community Improvement, Education, Human Services, Medical Care, Mental Health Services, and Youth Programs. “This is where our hearts are. Our lives have been blessed by God beyond anything we deserve,” says Mrs. Rees-Jones. “As custodians of what He has provided, we are called to share our resources with those around us who need some help and support.” Anticipated to be complete in late 2012, the Residential Services Building will enable the Families Together Program, a transitional living program for homeless single-parent families, to add capacity for four additional families, bringing the total living capacity to 10 families. In addition, the Residential Services Building will house a new Transitional Living Program to our continuum of services, to fill a critical service gap for up to 20 young men who are aging out of the foster care system. “Over the years, we have been touched by personal stories about individuals facing urgent needs, whether for medical care, personal safety, education, food, shelter or other necessities many of us take for granted,” says Jan Rees-Jones. “We are moved to help address those needs, especially when they involve children who through no fault of their own are in intolerable situations involving abuse, unsafe living conditions, or simply physical or mental disabilities.” Download the current issue of reACH Magazine.

“This project is not about property or building a structure. It’s about investing in the lives of a future generation of children and families. To do this requires a community committed to caring for those who need it most. It requires sharing a vision — and having the foresight to move toward that vision.” Glenn and Julie Davidson,
case statement.
the need.For tomorrow’s children, youth and families to receive the help they need, ACH Child & Family Services needs the help of generous individuals and organizations with a heart for children and families. Gifts from the community are vital to ACH’s ability to serve those most in need.
the plans.We are currently seeking to complete Phase I in order to be of greater service to rising volume of abused children in Texas and Tarrant County.
the cost.Renovation and construction for the Wichita Street Campus is being done in two phases. Phase I is budgeted to cost $15.5 million of which ACH is seeking $9.5 million in support from the philanthropic community.
our story.Abuse, neglect and family separation are significant problems in the communities we serve, and without help, the long-term impact on children can prevent them from living healthy, productive lives. Our programs are designed to prevent child abuse, neglect and family separation and help heal and treat children already affected by these tragedies.
your gifts.ACH has embarked on a capital campaign to raise the funds needed to renovate the Wichita Street Campus. As a member of the community, you are invited to join this effort by making a gift to the campaign. Your support will enable ACH to ultimately serve hundreds more children and families in our community.
