Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery provides safety for 100,000 kids during the past 31 years



The Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, a local non-profit organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect, celebrated a prevention focused milestone during the month of July. Since opening our doors in 1987, the Nursery has now kept 100,000 kids safe from child abuse and neglect. During our first year, 427 little ones were served and today more than 5,000 children are cared for each year.

The Nursery knows there is still much more to accomplish as Spokane County has a higher abuse and neglect rate than any other county in the state. With the recent string of child deaths related to abuse and neglect in the area; the Nursery feels an obligation to step up and see what more can be done to prevent these tragedies from happening.

To learn more about the Nursery's new growth initiative to prevent child abuse and neglect, visit www.vanessabehan.org/projecteverykid.

The dates for this year's food drive event are Thursday and Friday, September 6 & 7, at all Spokane-area Albertsons stores and the Liberty Lake Safeway store, from noon-6pm both days. They will be collecting food and cash donations to help Second Harvest stock the shelves of partner food banks serving local neighborhoods.

If you'd like to support the food drive online, go to: www.crowdrise.com/PackThePantry2018. For every $1 donated, Second Harvest provides 6 pounds of food - the equivalent of 5 meals for hungry people. The gift of food changes lives and gives people an opportunity to succeed and thrive.
