Nearly 1,000 children are in foster care in Brevard County. Friends of Children steps in where the system falls short — providing essentials, everyday joys, and a voice through the Guardian ad Litem program.
Friends of Children of Brevard exists to improve the lives of abused, abandoned, and neglected children in Brevard County — supporting their social, emotional, and educational needs.
We work directly alongside the Florida Guardian ad Litem Program and its volunteers, stepping in quickly to fill the gaps: clothing, bedding, school supplies, holiday gifts, and the simple joys of childhood — sports, summer camps, birthdays — that too often get lost in the system.
