Our Impact
Flint, MI Water Donation
On February 3, with the help of our partners, the Salvation Army, we quickly set up a community drive to collect drinking water. We are extremely proud to report that we were able to collect almost 2 tons of drinking water to “answer the cry of other children” and their families in Flint, MI.
Parent Help
Cry of the Children helps mediate and be an advocate for parents in school. By attending conferences with parents at a child's school, we aim to provide a way to help that child in our program if they are having difficulty in the classroom.
Thanksgiving Meals
Around Thanksgiving, Cry of the Children hosts a Thanksgiving meal for the community. Volunteers will roast turkeys, whip mashed potatoes, or serve guests, working side by side to feed those in need within our community.
Other Ways to Help

Clothing donations have been given in the past to help children and people of the community in need. Items have consisted of school clothing, basketball shoes, backpacks, and sports equipment. We do not turn down items and appreciate all donations provided.
