Sunlight Children’s Services’ mission is “to provide resources and facilities that support and protect abused and neglected children and their families.”

The non-profit has two facilities, the Sunlight Children’s Home and the Sunlight Child Advocacy Center.

According to the Sunlight Children’s Services website, the Children’s Home provides a place for affected children and their siblings to stay temporarily that’s not too far from home. The Sunlight Child Advocacy Center responds to allegations of child abuse with a team-based response that’s comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and culturally competent. The affected children are helped in a dedicated, child-friendly setting.

“Children in our care are treated with respect and dignity during their stay and provided with necessities,” said Sunlight Children’s Services. “When the children leave, they are provided with a to-go bag that has a blanket, comfort items, and more.”
