Art Therapy
Help us raise $2,500 to support children in expressing themselves through art therapy.
Healing can take on many forms as children process their emotions. Art Therapy empowers children to experience their emotions and channel them through a variety of mediums, all with the guidance of a certified therapist. As children navigate complicated feelings regarding family conflict, missing school, substance misuse, bullying, identity, and so much more, they will be given the tools to express themselves fully in a safe, compassionate environment.
Will you help children express their emotions and heal?
Car Seats
Help us raise $10,000 to purchase car seats to support the families Iris serves.
When our staff work with local schools, we often see children tasked with holding their younger siblings in the backseat. No other program in Allen County provides free car seats.
Will you help us meet this vital need?
Family Support Funding
Help us raise $10,000 to support families when they need it the most.
We know families are more likely to experience child abuse and neglect in their home when they are under stress.
Will you support our efforts to alleviate financial pressures while connecting families to resources for lasting stability?
Prevention Education
Help us raise $10,000 to provide vital knowledge to students.
When we know better, we do better. Our staff provide free, evidence-based presentations at schools throughout our service area.
Will you support our work to empower children and caregivers with the information and resources they need to be safe?
