District Attorney’s
Office donates
in support of
the Children’s
Advocacy Center
Family Foundation of Southwest Louisiana (Family
Foundation) was presented with a $100,000.00 donation
from the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney’s Office in
support of the Children’s Advocacy Center. Proceeds were
donated through the Family Foundation Capital Campaign, which is
raising funds to expand Family & Youth’s current facilities.
The donation will provide vital services to children who are seen at the
Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC). The CAC is a child friendly facility
where victims of abuse and/or neglect can tell their story in a safe and
comfortable environment.
Family Foundation of Southwest Louisiana is committed to
meeting the needs of families in Southwest Louisiana. Therefore, as
our community grows, so must Family & Youth. The Family Foundation
Capital Campaign’s purpose is to provide funding for a building
expansion, which will ensure that Family & Youth’s division will have the
resources and capabilities to welcome and serve anyone who needs our
help in our community.
