ways to give.There are many ways to support the children, youth and families served by ACH Child and Family Services.
make a monetary gift.Every dollar makes a difference. With your gift, we can continue helping children and families struggling with life's challenges. We can provide programs to prevent child abuse, neglect and family separation, and help heal and treat children and youth already affected by these tragedies. More than 86 percent of every dollar contributed is allocated to direct services for our children and their families.
$25 provides training, materials and a sign for a community Safe Place site - a community outreach, prevention and awareness program designed to help youth in crisis situations.
$125 provides a safe place to sleep, food, clothing and medical care for one night in Tarrant County's only emergency youth shelter, which services up to 16 homeless, runaway, throwaway, and abused and neglected youth each night, ages 10-17.
$500 provides enrichment opportunities, such as sports, band, summer camp and other activities that build confidence, self-esteem and strength for children living in ACH's Wedgwood Residential Program.
