The Washington County Children’s Justice Center has rooms that still need to be adopted at the new center

The Children’s Justice Center’s mission and design is to help children feel secure and at ease as they recount traumatic accounts of abuse in a calming environment where the truth can be told, without fear or re-traumatization, to proper authorities. The rooms stil available for adoption are: two parent rooms, foyer/receptionist area, three bathrooms, kitchen, child & teen interview rooms, offices, two meeting rooms and a garage/storage area. To make a donation or adopt a room, contact Jill Hunt at 652-3748 or hunt.family05@gmail.com.
