WEAVE Launches Playcare
We Need Your Help to Create a Safe Place for Children

February 5, 2013

Many of the victims who need our services are parents of young children. Accessing triage, counseling and legal services often means finding childcare.

In response to this need, WEAVE secured funding through the Sacramento Children’s Trust Fund to establish a playcare program at its Midtown Counseling Center. The program will begin offering supervised play opportunities for toddlers and young children in the coming weeks and we need your help to welcome the children who will benefit.

WEAVE is seeking donations of new items to complete the Playcare room.
