and educational support to enrich the lives of children in need."

Capital Campaign

The Attleboro Area Council for Children is reaching out to the community asking for help in enriching the lives of our littlest citizens. This time, we’re looking for help to obtain space….permanent space.

Over the past 20 years our programs have grown and our small office can no longer hold all of the programs and initiatives we are currently managing, never mind all of the ideas we have for future programs. Our flagship program, Christmas is for Kids, has been shuttled from one place to another and it’s time for a permanent home!

Wouldn’t it be so much more convenient to know where Marilyn’s elves are working from one year to the next? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a place where the teddy bears could wait? How much fun would it be to have a place for youth concerts or meetings…a place where kids could learn management skills, community service and the joy of their opinions being heard?

This is why the Council would like to open a Children’s Cultural Center. We believe we need a place where families can come together to simply celebrate children of all ages; where teenagers can be an active part in the organization and creation of a program and learn management skills in the process; where information or classes can be given on topics such as parenting or budgeting; and where families can volunteer together to make the community stronger.

You know who we are, but in case you don’t know everything we do, here’s a refresher:

Bears on Board	Child Injury Prevention Awareness
Child Care Scholarships	Christmas is for Kids^TM
Child Passenger Safety	Happy Birthday Backpacks

The Council for Children positively impacts over 3,500 children per year in our communities of Attleboro, North Attleboro, Seekonk, Norton, Mansfield and Rehoboth - with no paid staff!

We’ve always done a good job of raising funds for all of our programs and we thank you for your help over the years. Whenever we’ve had an idea to help the children in our area, the community support has been terrific.

So here’s what we need now: A BUILDING! We’re looking for land or a building, preferably donated, to house our dream. Meanwhile, we’re embarking on our first capital campaign fundraiser for the building.

Now it is just a dream, come to our vision celebration...
with your help, we can build the building, brick by brick
