THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED

This was the first emergency children’s shelter in Cherokee County. The program provided a temporary shelter where our abused and neglected children could stay in a warm and safe environment, with their siblings, while the DFCS caseworker searched for a suitable long-term living arrangement for the children.

Unfortunately, this program has fallen victim to a change in the state government’s direction and priorities in caring for these kids, and also to the tough economic times.  The shelter’s services have been suspended for the time being.  The Council will use this facility to continue to serve Cherokee's neediest children, but in a different capacity.
