As the Child Crisis Center enters its thirtieth year of service to the community we are humbled by the outpouring of community support we have received from so many entities and individuals without whom we could not have sustained and grown to become the organization we are today.
The Child Crisis Center is more than just a local charity to the people of the greater Phoenix area and Mesa, Arizona. It has been safety, encouragement, and home to over 12,000 children since it opened its doors in 1981. The Center began as a 7-bed emergency shelter for abused or neglected children and has grown into an organization that brightens thousands of futures a year.
