Helping Abused, Neglected, & Abandoned Children Thrive

Friends of Children of Brevard provides support for abused, neglected, and abandoned children who have been removed from unsafe homes. Because public funding often falls short, we step in to provide essentials and enrichment that make a meaningful difference in a child's life. From clothing, shoes, and birthday gifts to summer activities, graduation celebrations, and emergency assistance, we help meet both immediate needs and create lasting memories.

Our Mission

More than what the system provides.

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 Guardian ad Litem Office 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.
