…of Zach’s Place families say that the reason for needing care was they needed to work. Without respite, their child would need to be placed in out of home care. In 2020, 90 children were served – 40% diagnosed with Autism.
…rides in 2019 were given through our wheelchair accessible buses providing transportation to/from programs including community activity transportation
…children were served in our Child Placement/Foster Care program in 2019. 41 of those children were placed with SKSF because of substance abuse by a parent.
