Join Our Sustainer's Circle!

Empower families, celebrate their successes, and become a "change agent" for children at any level of giving. Give monthly through a credit card or ACH debit... & have a HUGE impact on local families (but not your wallet).

Why we need your help:

  • domestic violence, which also impacts children, has increased since "safer-at-home" orders during the pandemic
  • since schools, churches, camps, etc. have closed, reports of child abuse are down, but actual child abuse is NOT
  • 68% of our parents are raising families on less than $15,000 annually
  • 76% of our families have 4+ ACEs;  54% have 6+ ACEs
  • ACEs cost the Tennessee Economy over $5.2 billion in 2017
  • we serve dozens of nutrious meals to our families each week, sometimes it's their healthiest that day
  • hundreds of Calm Down Bottles in groups, fairs, and festivals help children learn how to manage emotions
  • we've helped positively changed the lives of tens of thousands of children and their families since first opening our doors in 1985

Any gifts received by Septembe 1st will be doubled thanks to ECON's  generous 1:1 Match up to $50,000! Together we're changing lives, changing families, and changing futures!

still serving families

Right now we're all facing challenges. States are re-opening and economies are starting their engines again. But millions of jobs have been impacted, education systems have been disrupted, and people's health is still at risk.

But we've remained here! We pivoted quickly to meet the needs of our staff, our clients, and our community. Now more than ever people need support dealing with the stress of continued uncertainty... so here's how we've been responding:

offering all family programs virtually

connecting people to local resources to better cope with "safer at home"

being good neighbors! We're personally checking on our clients

giving helpful tips & tricks for weathering the pandemic

providing self-care & fun activities for families

We recognize that "safer at home" doesn't always mean safe at home for everyone. Our Change Agents are more important than ever! With your help, we can meet the needs of families impacted by the trauma of coping with COVID-19.
