Florence Crittenton Foundation

Yesterday, after I dropped Austin off for his 1st day of full-time pre-school, and after I cried for about 10 minutes, I dropped off some of the kids old clothes, shoes, and toys to a place called Flo's on 7th. This is a great cause to donate to!! It is operated by the Florence Crittenton Foundation of AZ. Florence Crittenton started this foundation with the mission to help communities around the nation help young women in need! This is a non-profit organization that has served AZ youth and their families for well over a century!! They offer continuum care for girls ages 12-21 to over come issues of abuse, neglect, teen pregnancy, teen parenting and mental/behavioral problems. They also have a charter school for grades 9-12, Youth Academy, and Independent Living/Life skills that extends to boys of the same ages as well!! This is a wonderful organization that I am going to pursue to be a part of (remember giving back!!). I will keep everyone posted of my progress, and I encourage all to donate to charities that give back to the communities, not one's that are in it for a profit!!
