"Each year the Children’s Alliance works hard to hold children harmless from the ups and downs of the economy.

This year our work was made harder by a stubborn recession that will, in the coming months, push at least 40,000 more of our state’s children into poverty. We are poised to face the highest child poverty rates in 20 years.

But we have hope. There is a new urgency to conversations about meeting the basic needs of kids.

We have hope, because the child advocacy community is stronger and bigger than ever.

We have hope, because our donors and members remain committed to our mission—a better world for children." 

- Paola Maranan, Executive Director
