Harbor House Dream Team is a professional cast of well-known Superheroes brought in to interact and play with kids who were in attendance, hosting games and performing stunts while also taking pictures.
At Harbor House, our “Breakfast with Santa” event hosted Santa Claus at The Forum on Ice where children in attendance could take a photo with him while telling them what they wanted for Christmas. A pancake breakfast was served along with the opportunity for the children to ice skate during the event.
Blanket Buddies utilizes community volunteers that make blankets that are specifically designed to be given to children who are experiencing difficult times. We provide these blankets to all of our partner agencies (City and County Police, DFCS, city and county schools, Floyd Medical Center, Victim/Witness Office, even another CAC in Louisiana).
These blankets go to victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, drug endangered & human trafficking children who come through Harbor House. These kids are amazing and we’re blessed to work with them and show them love, compassion and kindness š We give the blankets for comfort and for them to have something of their own to help them through their trauma. They ALWAYS leave with a great big smile which makes this gift truly special!!
During the month of April, Harbor House puts the ‘spread awareness’ about child abuse into overdrive.Ā We assist with the pinwheel project, coordinate PSAs on local radio stations, and other activities to help educate the public about the prevalence of child abuse in our community.
