Show You Care Enough to Help Our Children

What’s it like to be a vulnerable child, living in a crime-ridden neighborhood right here in Chicago? Fortunately, that’s a reality many of us don’t have to face — the fear, the trauma, the lack of opportunities.

For 30 years, we here at Children’s Place Association have been working to stop the injustice. We want you to join us, donate and support our work.
