Child & Family Institute is an outreach ministry in the Santa Cruz County Community. In the past we have helped collect school supplies for New Horizons School for Homeless Children. We have also collected and packed items to make hygiene kits for New Horizons School and Above the Line Group Home for Teen Girls.

Our programs begin in the Fall and end in the Spring. Each season, during our Faith-Full Families program, Child & Family Institute gets the families involved with outreach by helping pack backpacks with school supplies and making Holiday cards and gift bags.

Our current outreach focus is with:
