As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to become stronger.
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Each month we serve approximately 115 families in our Therapeutic Early Childhood Program. To better serve families, and to ensure they are able to access our resources, we offer transportation for the families that need it. We have morning and afternoon bus rides that transport children to and from Relief Nursery each day so that they can attend class. Bus riders play a significant role in getting the children excited to go to school, as well as excited to go home each day. This is a great opportunity to engage with the children, play games, and build meaningful bonds while you have the chance to talk and play with them in this environment.
The mission of the Relief Nursery is to prevent the cycle of child abuse and neglect by early intervention that focuses on building successful and resilient children, strengthening parents and preserving families.
Description
The Relief Nursery is a non-profit program proven to strengthen high-risk families and keep their vulnerable young children safe and healthy. Nationally recognized, the Relief Nursery stops the cycle of child abuse and neglect with its blend of therapeutic early childhood services and comprehensive family support, including alcohol & drug recovery support services.
We serve low-income multi-stressed families with young children between birth and six years of age, who are at-risk for child abuse and neglect. Relief Nursery programs are an effective model of child protection and family preservation services that build on the belief that most children are best served when they remain with their families.
