Change For Children

📢 Join the Change for Children Campaign: Making a Difference for Foster Kids in Our Community! 🌟
From August, 2025 to May, 2026, we’re calling on schools across our community to come together for an important cause—the Change for Children Campaign! This initiative, spearheaded by Children in Crisis, Inc., is dedicated to raising vital funds to support the children of The Children’s Neighborhood.
How Can You Make a Difference?
By simply donating your spare change, you’re helping to provide food, clothing, and care for foster children, ensuring they have a safe and nurturing environment. Every cent counts and contributes directly to the well-being of children in foster care right here in our community.
About Children in Crisis, Inc.:
Children in Crisis, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to providing stable homes and fostering hope for children in need. We believe in keeping siblings together and creating a loving community where they can truly thrive.
Why Your Support Matters:
The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to supporting the children of The Children’s Neighborhood, giving them the stability and care they desperately need. Plus, schools that excel in their fundraising efforts will be recognized at the May 2025 School Board meeting!
For more details on your school’s campaign dates and participation, please reach out to your school administration. For general questions, contact us at 850.864.4242 or visit www.childrenincrisisfl.org. You can also reach out to Justin Schwab at justinschwab@cicfl.org for campaign-related inquiries or Megan Serafin at meganserafin@cicfl.org for marketing materials.
