In observance of Thanksgiving, Child & Family Center will be closed on November 27th & 28th 🦃.

However, our commitment to serving our community remains unwavering. Our 24/7 Domestic Violence Hotline ☎️ and Emergency Shelter 🏠 will continue to provide vital support and services to those in need. If you require assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 661-259-4357.

For mental health support, the National Su***de and Crisis Hotline at 988 is available around the clock. The 988 Lifeline offers free, confidential assistance for individuals in distress, with services provided in both English and Spanish.

This season, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community and the families we are honored to serve. We wish you a safe and meaningful Thanksgiving. 🧡
