Stewards of Children: Because a kid is no match for a perpetrator

Over 11,000 adults in Shelby County have taken our Stewards of Children child sexual abuse prevention training! Together, we are creating a network of trained, proactive adults watching out for kids across our community. If you haven’t taken the training yet, please join us!

We provide Stewards training to any organization who requests it.

Teddy bear donations are filling our center with gratitude!

Families, businesses, community organizations, and faith-based groups have been bringing in teddy bears steadily since word got out in September that we were short on bears. We want to send out a big THANK YOU to every person and group that have donated, or have plannied a donation, of bears or wish list items.

Our needs are always changing. Right now, we need gift cards to purchase emergency supplies for families in crisis and office supplies for the center. We also need individually packaged food and drinks for kids. Click here for a copy of our most recent wish list. Contact Su Hartline at 901-888-4359 to get more information on current needs.

Works of Heart works for the kids!

Our 23st Works of Heart valentine auction on Saturday, February 7 was a great success! Over 100 leading regional artists, dedicated volunteers, and hundreds of art loving partygoers helped us raise over $90,000 for the kids served at the Memphis CAC!

Thanks goes out to Joe Birch from WMC Action News 5 for serving as emcee! Check out the great photos taken by Sarah Rossi on our Facebook page. To see photos of artwork, search #worksofheart on Twitter, or check out Instagram.
