What are the most immediate needs to support your organization?
ChildServe’s mission is supported by generous donors who contribute to our capital needs, program startups and enhancements, and specialized equipment needs. As we look to serve more children and families across the state, we need funding support for additional space and renovations, equipment and furniture to bring this vision to life. Clinical equipment to enhance our outpatient therapy services is also a great area of opportunity. In addition, we are always in search of talented team members to help children with special healthcare needs live a great life.
