Although I've been involved in several Florence Crittenton fundraisers in the past, I had never been to their facility until last night. As I sat with the girls that were involved in "The Big Give" and waited for the board meeting to begin, I looked around in awe at what a great facility we were in. I was happy to see that this is available for AZ's youth in need.
This is a fantastic organization that provides safety, hope, and opportunity for girls that are in need. I did learn that Florence Crittenton has been helping those who suffer from abuse, neglect, teen pregnancy or mental health problems for over 100 years. Today, the agency provides shelter, education, counseling, and social support for girls ages 12-21 and enjoys a reputation for innovative programs that focus on the individual needs of each girl. I cannot do it justice to attempt to explain everything that this non-profit organization does, but if you are interested in learning more, I recommend checking it out. Get involved as a volunteer or make a donation, attend one of their events, just do something to give back; you'll be happy you did! read more
