Dow Jones Description

In 1890, two African American women, Lucetta Lawson and Sarah Grant, saw a need. Young homeless girls were living on the streets of Atlanta. They responded by founding the Leonard Street Orphan's Home, the beginnings of Families First as we know it today. This is not only the story of these two bodacious women, who saw a need and did something about it, but in fact, it is the story of Families First. We see a need and respond by providing innovative solutions, measuring our impact and setting the standard. While needs may have changed, then as now children and families suffer from abuse, neglect and violence. The health and vitality of the city and its residents depend on finding meaningful solutions to the stresses of urban life. In the spirit of Lucetta and Sarah, and others before us, we continue the tradition of finding solutions to the most critical problems facing children and families.Our history is full of firsts of which we are proud: - First adoption agency in Georgia - First foster care agency in Georgia - First family counseling agency in Georgia Without the critical services that we provide, our children, families and communities would be victims of more violence, abuse and neglect. The need is enormous. In 2001, in our state, 62,801 calls were made to domestic crisis lines. In 2002, there were 82,412 reports of child abuse and neglect. In Fulton County alone there were 1295 substantiated cases of child abuse last year...
