Haven of Help & Hope
When children are removed from their homes, it can sometimes be difficult to find an immediate, safe place for them to go. Haven of Help & Hope is our transitional apartment, which temporarily provides a safe, home-like environment for DCS to stay with children while awaiting a more permanent placement to become available.
Kip's Kloset
Kip's Kloset allows a child in transition to "shop" for brand new clothes. Often when a child in removed from their home they do not have the opportunity to take their belongings with them, Kip's Kloset allows them to pick out their own clothes to take with them to their more permanent placement. Kip's Kloset was established in memory of Kip McCoy Walker.
Project Halo
This initiative provides new, correctly fitting helmets that meets the standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) upon request at no cost to students. Through the help of this program, the Prevention Education Coordinator will be able to acknowledge the student’s concern and quickly provide for their need.
