OUR MISSION is to help children and families heal from life’s deepest hurts. We work to restore childhood. We tirelessly pursue, find and celebrate healing for young children in our community who have faced trauma, enabling children to lead happy, healthy, hopeful lives.

Story

Earlier this year, Brett and I were introduced to The Children’s Place through a work event. The more we learned, the more my heart broke for the children and families they serve and I knew we needed to do what we could to help. Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, valued, protected, and cared for—it’s non-negotiable. We’re excited and honored to join Tastemakers and support a mission that’s changing lives today and helping break the cycle of trauma and abuse for generations to come. The team at The Children's Place and the programs they have are top notch. We’re hoping through our networks we can raise awareness (and some funds!) to help expand the great work they are doing.
