CARE Center

The mission of the Warren Washington CARE Center in Glens Falls, NY is to recognize that the children in our communities are by nature, vulnerable and need our love and protection.

When a child is abused or neglected, it is incumbent upon us as responsible adults to bring care and healing to them as soon as possible.

A unified community approach to the investigation, examination, and prosecution of the child abuse perpetrator is paramount. However, it is also critical that these victims immediately receive all necessary services available from the community, so that our children can continue to flourish and grow, despite their trauma.

As such, our communities must be committed to helping these children in all ways possible. For it is only by using all available community resources that we can expect to become better people; and it will allow our children to heal, love, and respect each other as adults.
