Welcome Back! Returning board member Vicky Newman Durham has spent much of her life connected to Advocates for Children. She and her husband moved back to Cartersville, her hometown, in January 2015 and knew immediately that she would be involved with Advocates. "I'm so proud to carry on the legacy and passion that my mom, Nancy Newman, founded with many others back in 1983. I believe we are called to serve others in any way we can, and Advocates are very special to my family and me. I’m honored to be back on the Board serving the children, youth and families in our communities." #advocatesforchildren #advochild
We love our partners! A huge thank you to Publix Super Markets Charities for their unwavering support! The Publix in Cartersville serves as a Safe Place, offering youth in crisis a place to seek help. The Publix in Acworth generously donates baked goods, ensuring children and teens in our care have comforting meals. And thanks to Publix’s financial partnership, we can provide a safe home for runaway, homeless, at-risk, and foster youth. Because of partners like Publix, we can continue protecting children, guiding youth, and building families. #advocatesforchildren #advochild #publixcharities #publix #CommunitySupport #SafePlace #HelpingYouth

The Newman House is the fulfilment of a big dream for Advocates.?When leadership came forward with a vision for housing children and youth, the effort looked almost overwhelming, but it's almost complete and the residents will move in at the finish of the school year. The Feb. 13 ribbon-cutting and and open house for those who made the dream came true was a meaningful event with deep gratitude and enthusiasm as the dream began to unfold.
This week, Advocates is launching the newest class of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), a strong volunteer program that gives a voice to children in foster care who re navigating the court system. We're cheering on our future volunteers now in a 9-week training program to provide advocacy for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect. We believe that every child should be given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home. #casaofnorthwestga #advocatesforchildren #advochild
Advocates is working hard to promote the Safe Place Program, an initiative connecting youth to immediate help and supportive services if they feel as if they are in danger. In 2024, Advocates presented the program to 19,578 students and 2,500 adults. Advocates manages 179 safe sites in nine counties as part of the Safe Place national program, the first step for any youth in crisis or at risk to get immediate help. #nationalsafeplace #youthhomelessness #advocatesforchildren #advochild
Providing a meal to the residents of Flowering Branch Children’s Shelter is a great way for church groups, civic organizations and families to support the children we serve at our shelter. Don’t Cook? Don’t Worry! While we are always grateful for a nutritious home-cooked meal, our children are equally grateful for meals provided from local restaurants. Please plan to provide 8-10 servings and check our Sign-Up Genius for updated allergy details. Below you will find a calendar where you can sign up to provide a meal to the Flowering Branch Children’s Shelter in Cartersville. https://lnkd.in/em3gAECv
