Proceeds from this event support St. Joe’s Residential Treatment Program, helping to purchase visual art supplies as well as create workshops staffed and funded by S.E.E for the children served in this program. St. Joe’s Residential Treatment Program serves approximately 85 girls and boys, ages 6-14, each year. The Therapeutic Foster Care and Adoption Program serves approximately 70 girls and boys, ages newborn to 18 years old. The majority of the children are developmentally disabled, and at least two years behind academically. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services places children who have been victims of neglect, physical, mental or sexual abuse or a combination of several of these factors in treatment centers. St. Joseph Children’s Home provides children with an Activities Program, providing educational, cultural and recreational opportunities that most of the children have never experienced. The majority of our children have not had a childhood. It is crucial that we provide the children these activities, and give them back a part of their lost childhood. On behalf of S.E.E. and St Joseph Children’s Home, we appreciate your donations and involvement.
