KIDS IN DISTRESS

I recently had the privilege to photograph a fundraiser benefit for KIDS IN DISTRESS at Abe & Louie’s in Boca.  Due to the success of the Foster Care/ Adoption Programs, KID has been invited to expand its work into Palm Beach County.

Community volunteers and the Junior League of Greater Fort Lauderdale founded KIDS IN DISTRESS as a shelter for victims of child abuse. The mission of KIDS IN DISTRESS is to prevent child abuse, preserve the family and treat children who have been abused and neglected.  KID serves more than 8,000 children and their families each year.

KIDS IN DISTRESS cares for and treats abused and neglected children through a full continuum of care that includes emergency shelters, therapeutic services, abuse prevention, foster care and adoption. The state-of-the-art pediatric dental clinic provides dental care to children who have no other access to these services.  The Eye Care Institute - offers low cost eye exams, glasses and other general eye care services to the public.

     

     

  KIDS IN DISTRESS depends on the community's continued support to provide children with much-needed care. Get involved and make a difference through activities such as Mark Vacker Photography’s Family Portrait Month. Not only do you win by getting to purchase a keepsake Family Portrait that will preserve the memory of your family and be passed on for generations, but also you win by knowing in your heart of the good that you have done for others.
