Research shows that for every $1.00 invested in early learning, we save $7.00 in future expenditures per child. By investing in Action for Children’s programs and services, you are transforming the lives of children and their families in our community.
Your gift can:
Provide families with free resources to find child care, early education programs, and comprehensive services for their children and themselves. Whether learning how to overcome their own childhood trauma, or looking for peer support, all parents can benefit from AFC;
Provide necessary professional development for our community’s early childhood education workforce so they can provide children with the quality early learning environment and instruction they need; and
Empowering parents as their child’s first teacher to prepare them for success in school and in life, to find the balance they need, and to create the loving and nurturing families we all want and deserve.
Your dollars make a difference to every child!
