The holidays can be a difficult time, especially for children living in the aftermath of criminal child abuse. Each year, DCAC brings a smile to thousands of our client’s faces when we provide them with gifts and toys through our annual Holiday of Hope program.
This year we anticipate serving nearly 2,000 children through Holiday of Hope. Each child will receive a reading book, a fuzzy blanket, and 3-4 age-appropriate gifts.
We invite you to help bring hope to a child at DCAC this year.
