Children's Garden
A Community Service of Volunteers of America
of the Carolina's Inc.
Children's Garden is a child care
center offering unique and comprehensive child development services
to very young children and their families who are homeless, needy,
in crisis, in a transition and lacking a support system. This
quality child care program seeks to remove the barrier of lack of
childcare for families to help them move beyond the crisis and
achieve stabilization, while offering a setting for their children
that nurtures a sense of belonging and well being. This non-profit,
charity service depends on community support to provide this
free/low cost crucial service to those in need in our communities.
We're proud to provide both financial and "elbow grease" support to
this effort.
