ORGANIZATION:
The mission of Crittenton is to promote health and hope for tomorrow’s children by providing comprehensive health, education, and social services. Crittenton is one of the largest comprehensive residential programs for at-risk and pregnant girls and women in the United States. The agency serves as a healthy alternative for this population in North Carolina.
Established in 1903, Charlotte-based Crittenton has provided housing and services to more than 40,000 adolescents and women, plus follow-up care for more than 3,000 infants during the course of its successful history.
Crittenton recently launched its $3.5 million Vision for the Future capital campaign. The campaign will fund the organization’s purchase of a newly built facility and strategic initiatives designed to support its expanded client base of women and girls facing cycles of trauma and abuse. Before moving to its new location, Crittenton was located on the Atrium Health campus in Midtown Charlotte.
