On Friday November 15th, 2024, from 12-2pm our friends at Matsu Title will host the Annual Soup and Bread Luncheon fundraiser for The Children’s Place. We will serve soup and bread for lunch, and have a silent auction of beautiful quilts, donated items from community members and cookie jars filled will delicious treats for you to bid on and by doing so, support The Children’s Place. We look forward to seeing you there!
The Children’s Place has been making a positive impact on the lives of child victims of abuse in the Mat-Su Valley since we opened our doors in 1999. We see over 350 children each year and have offered services and support to more than 5,000 children and their families since opening. We advocate for children and their families and assist them on their path to healing by working in collaboration with the Mat-Su Valley Multidisciplinary Child Protection Team. As a non-profit we rely on the support of our community, and we are genuinely grateful for the support we have received that enables us to continue helping children.
