C&FC selected as Charity of the Year

Child & Family Center has been so fortunate to have been the City of Santa Clarita’s selected charity for 2023. A group of City employees recently met at Child & Family Center to learn more about our services, and to find out how they could get involved in the City’s Work Well committee.

Current committee members shared their positive experiences, while encouraging others to join. The Work Well Committee holds events and fun activities for employees throughout the year to raise money to support that year’s charity.

To date, Child & Family Center has received over $7,000 in donations!
