Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a nationally recognized day of giving and an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our community.
This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of a child being heard, a family receiving support, and a survivor having access to healing without worrying about the cost.
At Traverse Bay Children’s Advocacy Center, we believe every child and their non-offending family members deserve access to support, advocacy, and healing at no cost to them.
Will you give the gift of justice, hope, and healing this Giving Tuesday?
Make a donation today and help us continue making a difference for children and families throughout our community.
