| “NO CHILD FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS”-
Child Protect of Mercer County is a community based child advocacy center in Mercer County that works to ensure that “no child falls through the cracks” when the child is a victim of abuse and neglect, has witnessed violence or a crime or is drug-endangered.
The West Virginia Bar Foundation provides beneficial grants to worthwhile charitable organizations to improve the administration of justice, such as to Child Protect of Mercer County to support its forensic interview and trauma based therapy and counseling programs for children.
You and your colleagues in the practice of law and members of the judiciary provide the tax deductible contributions to the Bar Foundation Justice Fund which has generated more than 50 grants, totaling $300,000 in just the past eight years.
THANK YOU!
May you and your family enjoy a Happy Holidays Season!! |
