In a continuing effort to reach out to children and families in crisis, we have been working with several upscale hotels and faith communities, and are working towards establishing a 12 month round “clearinghouse” of goods to be distributed to needy agencies working with homeless children, families in crisis and children impacted by violence.

Also, The Adopt A Bear program was created and installed on the web site as a means to raise awareness and to support the financial needs of CRF in meeting the goals of assisting families and children who are impacted by crisis. Every bear donated receives a certificate, and .80 of every dollar of the funds from these bears goes directly to the children.
