This year has been challenging for us, as it has been for many families and businesses in the community: Contributions, grants and funding are down by 26%; We’ve had to reduce our staff by 3; We’ve had to close the Supervised Family Visitation Program; The number of clients we serve is up; And perhaps most importantly, when the economy suffers, family stress increases, and the risk of child abuse and neglect multiplies. That makes the demand for our services increase and the need for our services more critical. We appreciate any financial support you can give to Madonna Place to help us with our mission.
