CHILDRENS LANTERN INC

The mission of Children’s Lantern is to prevent human trafficking, addiction, and homelessness by eliminating situations that make life unnecessarily difficult for foster parents, social workers, and aged out foster youth.

We connect with local foster families and adoptive families to fill any needs they may have. Children's Lantern has created a network of families in these communities to give them the opportunity to have help. Children's Lantern has also created connections with Crime Victims Services and local Law enforcement, as well as local Human Trafficking coalitions to provide for survivors in the best way possible. We will give the normal every day person the opportunity to give to help kids in their communities. We solicit Churches and community members to help where they live.

We have created a network of nearly 4000 Social Media followers as well as 25 local area churches who have decided to partner with us. We have created podcasts, speaking engagements, and education events to spread the word on our organization. Children's Lantern has housed fed supported and connected with approximately 450 survivors and foster/adoptive kids so far in our communities in 2017 with our final goal of 2000 by networking and giving. Our face to face goal of education for awareness is 3000 people and we are nearly half way there by speaking publicly.

Children's Lantern has the vision to one day be a state wide organization and possibly even stretch across state lines to be nationwide. We have a 5 year goal to be raising $500,000.00 per year as well as helping 10 thousand children and foster families in the USA.
