 Become a Pen Pal
With just a few minutes of your spare time you can uplift the spirits of a child in need.
At Child Center~Marygrove, we provide care for children, teens, and young adults in need of a safe and nurturing environment. The people placed at Child Center~Marygrove have often been through multiple failed placements in other residential facilities or foster homes, and several come from abusive and violent family situations. More than anything else, these children are in need of love.
Our caregivers design individualized treatment programs and counseling to help each child reach personal short-term and long-term goals. We try to create a family-like setting for the children to thrive in, communicating the benefits of a caring familial unit.
You can help.
