We maintain our facility in order to serve youth and families in our community - through both fundraising to support our youth and through ever expanding direct programs. 


We are particularly proud of our MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT NIGHTS! We draw students from the entire community to our special events where the focus is on them!
