Parenting is a challenging job which becomes increasingly difficult when a family is facing hardship. Every parent needs support from their village (i.e. family, friends, etc.); when they don’t have one it is up to us as a community to be theirs. The Appalachian Children’s Refuge Foundation, Inc. focuses on the prevention of child abuse and neglect by offering free, voluntary services for parents who face barriers. We help strengthen families by connecting them to resources, providing childcare, and setting goals that promote self-sufficiency and support the family relationship. 

Our launch event is November 16. We will be discussing our next steps and ways you can help!
