Community Partners of Dallas serves as a vital bridge, connecting compassionate individuals and organizations with the pressing needs of these vulnerable children. Established in 1989 as a dedicated non-profit, we were created to bolster the vital work of Child Protective Services (CPS) in Dallas County. Over the decades, we have grown into a powerful network, uniting thousands of caring people, businesses, and groups who are committed to making a tangible difference. Together, we address the urgent needs of approximately 20,000 abused and neglected children in Dallas County each year. Community Partners of Dallas proudly stands as the original and only non-profit solely focused on these specific needs within Dallas County. Our impactful programs have become a model, replicated in over 155 cities across the state of Texas, extending our reach and impact far beyond Dallas.
We are on the ground every day, providing the essential resources that represent the first steps towards healing for these children. What might seem like small gestures can have a profound impact on a child recovering from trauma – a safe car seat for transportation to safety, a comfortable bed in a secure home, or the simple joy of celebrating their first holiday in a nurturing environment. By meeting these fundamental and individualized needs, we send a powerful message of care and open the door to a child’s journey of healing and recovery.
Equally critical to our mission is our commitment to supporting and empowering CPS caseworkers. The stability of these caseworkers directly impacts a child’s future; reducing caseworker turnover significantly improves a child’s chances of finding a safe and loving permanent home. Supporting these dedicated professionals in their demanding and essential work is not just the right thing to do, it is absolutely vital to fostering healing within our community and protecting our most vulnerable children.
Join Community Partners of Dallas in our shared vision: to empower children to overcome the devastating effects of abuse and neglect. Discover how you can get involved today and become a part of their healing journey.
