We are thrilled to receive a grant from the Rotary Club of Arlington – Texas, resulting from their wildly successful inaugural “Dancing with the Arlington Stars” charity fundraiser! This grant will be utilized to fulfill short-term emergency needs for Arlington victims of child abuse and their protective caregivers through our Family Advocate Program at our Arlington center. Through this program, Alliance For Children provides support and necessary, tangible items to families who need help maintaining the well-being and safety of children in their care including car seats, cribs, and beds; basic needs such as clothing, diapers, and formula; or short-term emergency assistance with groceries, gas, or rent to help families get their feet on the ground.

TW: DOMESTIC ABUSE ‘The perpetrator destroyed the children’s toys’ (referral partner) It’s not uncommon for perpetrators to threaten to/destroy, block access to belongings and finances. This is why the material support we provide is vital to help a family in that immediate phase and throughout their recovery (because their situation won’t be improving overnight!). We were able to quickly respond to this referral with age appropriate toys, clothing footwear and equipment. Shockingly 29% of our referrals are for families fleeing abuse, through our partners in health and social care Trafford Council and TRAFFORD DOMESTIC ABUSE SERVICES, we can make sure families get the practical items they need so they can focus on their recovery. Your support through donating stuff, volunteering for us, and your financial donations ensure that we can continue to provide this vital service to our community. #communityaction #Domesticabuse #Smallcharity #Trafford #Littlegreensockproject #breakfreefromabuse

Lead IT Help Desk & Salesforce Administrator | Board Member | Proven Leader with Business Acumen | AWS Certified | Project Manager | Tech Innovator: Keeping It a Buck, One Penny at a Time
Someone with children who could use free clothing, has entered the chat: While it's commendable that 18,000 children received a season of clothing, it's equally disheartening that so many are in need—and surely, another 18,000 children could use similar assistance. I've said it before: parents need livable wages, hours that allow them to care for and build relationships with their children, and safe neighborhoods. In the words of Al Bundy, “You can’t have one without the other!” The crime in our community is directly linked to poverty, which stems from a lack of advancement and opportunity for marginalized individuals. This cycle repeats as parents are overworked, underpaid, and stressed in a constant struggle for survival. We need career opportunities as holiday charity. Instead of toy trucks, we need career opportunities for Giving Tuesdays, rather than endless roundtable discussions about recurring problems. A career is the gift that keeps on giving. A promotion that recognizes those of us who have invested time in acquiring new skills and have spent years developing transferable skills can make a world of difference. For many families, ending poverty is just one job offer away.

While we will still be taking emergency applications for unhoused families, the Red Cross, CHOICES, etc. the Charity Newsies general assistance application is now closed. Three years and prior, we were able to keep the clothing assistance application open into December to serve up to 15,000 children. Two years ago, we reached our budgetary goal of 15,000 children right before Thanksgiving. Last year, we reached 15,000 on August 15 before Columbus City Schools even opened. We scrambled and raised money and bought clothes to reach 18,000, which we did on September 18. This year, we opened on July 29 planning to serve 18,000 children. As of 9:38 a.m. morning, August 15, 18 days since opening the application, we have hit our budgeted amount of 18,000 children scheduled to receive clothing or who have already picked up clothing.

It’s an unfortunate reality that domestic abuse happens within our country. It’s even more sad to realize that it happens so often that there are large nonprofits that take care of family members in these situations. Safe Harbor in Greenville “provides pathways for people impacted by domestic abuse to survive and thrive, and raises awareness of domestic abuse through community engagement and education.” Their services include a 24 hour hotline, emergency shelters, transitional housing, counseling, case management, and much more. There are quite a few ways you can get involved. You can donate in terms of money but you can also donate standard living items like kitchen or household goods, diapers and clothing for children, school supplies, and other needs. You can also volunteer to help carry out the vision of Safe Harbor. Consider helping families be free from the constraints of abuse. #greenville #volunteer #nonprofit

Last year... 💓 1,300 local children, young people and their parents/carers benefitted from 1:1 bereavement counselling and/or group activities 💓 153 professionals and parents/carers benefitted from bereavement and loss training to better support 100's of locally bereaved families 💓 177 of telephone advice and guidance was provided 💓 100% of children and their families that accessed support felt they had benefitted We received only 3% of our income from statutory sources (this is not definite for future years and is only for our Bassetlaw service). The other 97% relies on donations from the community, corporates, and Trusts.
