Children & Families First's Friends 2008 Campaign

For nearly 125 years, Children & Families First has strengthened Delaware families and communities by providing a comprehensive array of services which work to decrease infant mortality, ensure the safety of children, improve relationships and more. The Friends Campaign is a vital source of funding that allows us to touch the lives of Delawareans throughout the state – last year nearly 50,000 were served. Here are some quick facts about the campaign and how you can become involved: 

What is the Friends Campaign?
It is Children & Families First's annual campaign and the primary source of unrestricted support. Gifts from individuals and matching gifts from corporations allow the Board of Directors to target funds where need is greatest.
