With 40 beds and a 4 million dollar annual budget, the programs and services provided in the areas of Emergency Shelter, counseling and prevention have grown in response to the needs of the community.
Grassroots community involvement has always been the cornerstone of the success of the Center. Still today, the Child Crisis Center relies on the generosity of individuals and local corporations to provide the funds necessary to operate. They are grateful for the continued support of the community as they continue to help Arizona’s families prevent child abuse and neglect.
