Hibiscus Children’s Center, founded in 1985 by LaVaughn Tilton, is a non-profit organization which addresses the problem of abuse and neglect throughout the Treasure Coast with an expanded Foster Care Program, mental health and substance abuse services, a prevention program to support families in crisis, and services to reduce the number of families entering the dependency court system.
All proceeds from the thrift store are used to offset costs for children’s programs. Shelter and Foster programs are funded in part by United for Families and an additional $2.5 million must be raised each year by Hibiscus through fundraising and local grants to meet overall children’s needs. Hibiscus speakers are available to present to your group or organization.
