ABOUT THE BOARD

Serving the kids of Limestone County who suffer from Abuse & Neglect.

The board has been around since the early 1990's providing key services to the children who come into the care of CPS or require services. The Board is appointed by the Commissioner's Court of Limestone County. It also has a separate 501(c)(3) that allows us to access and tap into a wider variety of funding to be able to provide more for the kids we serve. We are purely a volunteer board and function only by the generosity of our donors.

How we support children & families

The Limestone County Child Welfare Board provides critical support to children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Through emergency assistance, community resources, and partnerships with local agencies, we help ensure children entering new environments have the support they need to feel safe and confident.
