How will your donations help?

$20 a month provides therapy supplies such as workbooks, games, craft items, and more! These are used during therapy sessions to assist children and their non-offending family members. $40 a month provides educational materials and refreshments to Multidisciplinary Team members who meet every other week to staff cases for the purpose of ensuring full service provision for child abuse victims and their non-offending family members. $75 a month supports staff salaries and training expenses. Our staff are at the CORE of everything we do at Paulding CAC! We are committed to providing fully-trained and capable staff to see to the needs of children and families. This requires specially trained and/or licensed individuals who work with a very special population. $150 a month supports everything from our power bill to accreditation-related fees to even copy paper!
