• Our agency is celebrating its 20th Birthday! What began as a tiny, three-person staff in a one room office, has now grown into a thriving organization with over 100 employees, supporting over 325 contract therapists and community volunteers, who in turn are serving thousands of children across Louisiana and now Mississippi each year!
• In April we had the honor of having the Louisiana First Lady Donna Edwards tour our Children's Advocacy Center of Northeast Louisiana and CASA of Northeast Louisiana offices, taking the time to offer praise and encouragement for the work being done by our agency.
• Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we were able to serve over 900 families across Northeast Louisiana through The Christmas Project and Stuff a Bus this holiday season. Business and individual donors donated more than 2,724 toys and gifts, as well as nearly $2,000 in financial contributions for children and teens this Christmas! We are incredibly thankful and humbled by this outpouring of love.
• The Center for Children & Families is pleased to announce Dr. Matthew Thornton, Ph.D. as its new Chief Executive Officer!
