For Kids First, it means that we don’t have to find a venue, vendors, organize a raffle, or plan a program for a one-day event. Instead, we can continue focusing on providing Hope, Healing, and Help to the children we see.

Kids First’s goal is to raise $36,000 for Child Abuse Prevention month. Your membership and additional support are vital. Grants fund specific projects, but gifts from members like you cover Kids First’s day-to-day operations.

About Darkness to Light

We believe that learning the facts about child sexual abuse helps prevent it.  Talking about it helps prevent it.  Getting involved helps prevent it.  The truth is, if child abuse can be prevented, it can be stopped.  That’s why D2L exists – to help individuals, organizations, and communities work together to end child sexual abuse.
