CRESTVIEW — Children in Crisis has extra support for its programs benefiting at-risk children. The Okaloosa County Sheriff First Judicial Circuit Law Enforcement Association donated $750 to the nonprofit organization.
The funds will be used to purchase computer and educational equipment for at risk children living at the CIC Neighborhood.
"We provide a home to about 100 children every year and most are behind in school. This donation will be an enormous help with our tutoring and educational programs to get our kids back on track,” Ken Hair, CIC president and CEO, said.
The CIC Neighborhood in Fort Walton Beach provides emergency shelter for children removed from an unsafe environment on short notice, and offers housing to help with foster home shortage.
