Giving To MSPCC

In Massachusetts:

A child is reported abused or neglected every 8 minutes.
A child is born into poverty every three hours.
A child dies before his or her first birthday every day.

At MSPCC, we believe that every child is entitled to a safe and healthy start and we know the best way to provide that start is to reach out to families as soon as possible. Parenting can be a difficult job but effective parenting can be taught. Our programs work. To see a video about MSPCC services and the families we serve, click here.
