Meet Rudy Bear
This friendly face greets all who arrive at The Children’s Place. Warm, welcoming and playful, Rudy Bear shows children this is a Place for them.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
The Children’s Place celebrates people from every color, race, ethnicity, place of origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, socio-economic status, family structure, and those with differences in ability.

Give Hope
Partner with us as we restore childhood for local children who have experienced life’s deepest hurts. When you make a gift to The Children’s Place, you make a lasting impact on a child’s life and the community.

Party for The Place 2023
Under the gleam of the disco ball, more than 700 friends of The Children’s Place danced the night away on April 1 at the unforgettable Party for The Place: Studio 45, presented by Dairy Farmers of America.
Thank you to all who made this event such a resounding success!
