Declutter for a cause with the Just Porch It Initiative!
Cleaning out your closet has never been easier or more meaningful. Simply gather gently used clothing, shoes, linens, towels, bags, and textiles, schedule a FREE porch pickup, and leave the bags out on pickup day.

When booking, be sure to select Manatee Children’s Services; every scheduled pickup generates donations that support MCS intervention, shelter, treatment, and prevention programs for children and families in our community.

Declutter your space. Support local kids. Make an impact.

Two weeks ago, MCS was awarded a $108,000 grant from Impact 100 SRQ!

We’re so happy to have been selected as one of Impact100 SRQ’s eight grant recipients for 2026. Impact100 SRQ’s generous funding will support a much needed Volunteer Coordinator to facilitate therapy dog visits and ensure the children we serve will never have to face their scariest moments alone.

Thank you to all of our supporters and voters who have made this incredible opportunity a reality!

From gala favorite to community fundraiser!

Our youth had the incredible opportunity to help design a custom American flag with the Liberti brothers of Heroic Flags for our Groovin’ for Good Gala silent auction. What began as a teen’s mission to give back has grown into Heroic Flags raising over $30,000 for veterans, foster youth, and others in need. Seeing the kids light up as their design became a standout at the gala was a moment we will never forget.

Heroic Flags were a highlight of the night and they sold fast. Now you have another chance to bring one home while supporting children and families right here in Manatee County.

We are proud to partner again with Heroic Flags, a local, family owned business that hand carves each flag to honor service, sacrifice, and community. When you select Manatee Children’s Services at checkout, 15% of every purchase goes directly to support our child abuse prevention programs.

These one of a kind flags are more than art. They are a symbol of hope and impact.Order yours today at https://www.heroicflags.com/

Big news for kids and families! Thanks to tireless advocacy from supporters across the country, the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (CVFSA), H.R. 909, has officially PASSED the House.

This legislation helps protect critical funding that supports crime victims, including children served by Child Advocacy Centers, ensuring lifesaving services remain available for those who need them most.

We are incredibly grateful to our local representative, Congressman Vern Buchanan, for standing up for children and supporting the passage of CVFSA. His commitment to protecting vulnerable victims makes a real difference right here in our community.

This victory is proof that when we raise our voices together, change happens. Thank you to everyone who called, emailed, and advocated for kids. The work continues, but today we celebrate progress!
