🎉 25 years. 25 donors. $25 a month. That's the goal!!

This year marks 25 years of the Children's Advocacy Center of East Central Illinois standing beside children and families in our community during their hardest moments.

25 years of interviews conducted with care, advocacy for families, and specialized support to families who didn't have to face abuse investigations alone.

To celebrate, we're looking for 25 people to join us as monthly $25 donors — that's less than $1 a day to help make sure the next 25 years are possible, too!

Will you be one of our 25? 💙
