Together we can stop child abuse
Each day in Illinois, nearly 200 children will be victims of abuse and neglect. Our mission is to end the cycle of child abuse by ensuring safe, healthy and nurturing environments to children, their families and our community.
Our programs include emergency housing, transitional living, foster care, home visiting, and clinical support services. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
With your support we can protect children, strengthen families, and transform communities. Our vision is that every child will grow up in a safe and loving home.
How It Works
Shelter's 5K Run/Walk 4 Kidz is presented in conjunction with National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Get involved and join the fight against child abuse!
You can register as an individual, join or create a team, and use your very own fundraising page. We have sponsorship opportunities too!
