Fuller Center

Boca West Children’s Foundation has been a cornerstone of support for the Fuller Center for over 14 years.

JAFCO — Jewish Adoption and Family Care Options

Support from the Boca West Children’s Foundation helps to ensure that every newborn baby or child who is removed from their family due to abuse or neglect can find safety at the JAFCO Children’s Emergency Shelter, often in the middle of the night. And at the Children’s Ability Center BWCF’s support of our respite program gives parents raising a child with autism a life-saving break to rest and sleep and take a deep breath. There are no words to adequately thank BWCF for their life-saving support.
