How to Help

IT TAKES A VILLAGE. WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN PUT AN END TO CHILD ABUSE IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

The Tazewell County Children’s Advocacy Center exists solely on grants and community donations. Since opening in 1999, our community has generously supported the Center.

The Center accepts monetary donations through their Friends Board, a 501c3 organization. These donations are tax deductible. Donations help us to pay for emergency clothing, stuffed animals, legal fees, counseling, day-to-day expenses, and any other necessities that arise for the children and families we serve. We accept donation online, by mail or over the phone.
