Description

KARE is a nationally accredited Child Advocacy Center (CAC) in good standing with the National Children’s Alliance. Located in Haywood County, we are dedicated to supporting children and families affected by child abuse, neglect, or exploitation. We accomplish this through comprehensive services including outreach, advocacy, specialized interventions, and a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach. We partner closely with community stakeholders such as the Department of Social Services, Law Enforcement, and other community organizations serving children with lived experiences of abuse and neglect. All our services are provided at no cost to ensure accessibility and to minimize further trauma to survivors and their families. By offering a wide range of support in a single location, we aim to foster a safe and nurturing environment for all those we serve.

We invite you to join us for our largest fundraiser of the year, Festival of Trees! Enjoy dinner, auction, entertainment, beautifully decorated trees, and drinks while supporting an incredible cause! All proceeds benefit KARE's direct service programs, going directly back into the community to serve children and families in Haywood County.
