Give Today
In addition to providing and maintaining both CJC buildings, your donation covers the cost of therapy, $100,000 or more per year, for children and families who cannot otherwise afford treatment.
In-Kind Donations
Snacks, Drinks and other needs
We ALWAYS need donations of snacks and drinks. You can click here for a list of items that are most commonly needed.
Activity Kits
When the families arrive, the law enforcement and DCFS case worker get as much information as possible from the parents or caretakers on the alleged abuse. While the parents are busy, the children spend time with an onsite volunteer or a staff member. When possible, they are given their own age-appropriate activity kits to keep them busy and occupied. These items are generously donated by the community. Click here for a list of activity kit ideas.
Holiday Needs
Every year in December, the CJC holds a Santa's Giftshop for families in need during the holidays. Families are assigned a specific time to come to the CJC to "shop" for Christmas gifts for the children. All new items are donated by the community and you can click here for a list of items.
