Monarch Children’s Justice & Advocacy Center

During the month of February St. Benedict Church is making a donation in support of Monarch’s Children’s Justice Advocacy Center in Olympia.

Monarch’s Children’s Justice & Advocacy Center is a program of the Community Action Council  serving children and families in Thurston County, Washington. MCJAC is one of eight operating child advocacy centers in the State of Washington and one of over 600 nationwide. 

Child Advocacy Centers work to reduce the incidence and impact of child abuse by providing a coordinated, multidisciplinary response to victims of child abuse and their families. This response includes prevention, investigation, prosecution, and treatment and includes community partners who are experts in those areas. Monarch provided a wide range of services at no cost to 839 child victims and their families last year.
