The completed building

This season, 2009-2010, the Newcomers' Club will be fundraising for the
Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center (MCCAC) friendsofmccac.org 
The Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center is a not-for-profit organization established in 2003 to raise funds to build a child advocacy center in Monmouth County.   The child advocacy center serves as a safe, child-friendly facility for the victims of child abuse, neglect, and assault and their caregivers.
This one centralized facility co-locates the professionals who provide the law enforcement, mental health, medical, victim advocacy and prosecutorial services, resulting in a more coordinated response and investigation into reports of child abuse.  The children need only travel to one location to tell their story, greatly reducing their trauma and stress.  With the creation of MCCAC, the child and their families will find a private and compassionate location and will be less overwhelmed by the investigative and criminal processes.  the result will be fewer recantations in their testimony and the beginning of their healing.
