All clients are referred to the organization by local law enforcement and the Cherokee County Department of Child & Family Services.

Many of the Cherokee County Allstate agents serve as ambassadors and volunteer for the Anna Crawford Children’s Center and as a result, invite the Anna Crawford Children’s Center to apply for a $1,000 grant from the Allstate Foundation.

Last week, former Allstate agent Brit Vincent and several current Allstate agents throughout Cherokee County volunteered their time and efforts at the Center to learn ways they can help prevent child abuse and encourage the community to take a stand against child abuse prevention.

The Allstate agents spent their time touring the facility, being educated on services and helping organize some areas within the Center.

Participating agents were Lori Bray, Carol Hurt, BK Kellerman, Sheree Edmondson, Shirley Jervis, Tommy Suggs, and Suhas Uppalapati.

The Anna Crawford Children’s Center and its staff work together to serve thousands of Cherokee County children and family members impacted by child sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect and exposure to violence, allowing them to live healthier, fuller and happier lives.
