Children's Activity Fund
The Children’s Activity Fund provides enrichment activities for children in Department for Children and Families (DCF) custody living in a licensed kin/foster homes or children adopted through DCF.
It is crucial that youth have opportunities to engage in enrichment activities; to build resiliency and to provide some normalcy in their lives.
In 2016, the Children’s Activity Fund awarded over $9,000.00. This helped nearly 1,000 youth to participate in sports and become a part of a team, attend music, snowboard and horseback riding lessons, and take part in day/overnight camps.
With your support, these children will have access to more enriching opportunities. Donations are welcome and appreciated.
