Our hearts are brimming with gratitude! Once again, this community has come through for CPC and the children we serve by recognizing our organization as one of the top nonprofits in the 2026 Best of SRQ.

This recognition means so much to our entire team, but more than that, it is an extraordinary achievement in raising awareness of our services and resources for families in vulnerable situations. That means:
💙 More children brought to safety.
💙 More families supported through healing.
💙 More members of our community understanding that the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse is not someone else's responsibility — it belongs to all of us.

By showing up and voting, you brought our mission to people who may not have known we existed. And because of that, more children will find their way to safety and healing.

We could not be more grateful for this community — filled not only with compassion, but with the drive to take real, concrete action. Truly, thank you!!
