Association to Benefit Children
Since its founding in 1986, the Association to Benefit Children (ABC) has served children struggling with the complex and compound issues of poverty, hunger, emotional and physical abuse, lack of educational support, homelessness, and disabilities or developmental delays. As a refuge for children and families living in poverty, ABC provides programs in early childhood education for at-risk infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, year-round youth development, mental health services and crisis intervention, family preservation, and supportive housing.
