"Ginnie’s House is Sussex County’s Children’s Advocacy Center. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are nationally accredited and a full member of the National Children’s Alliance.
Ginnie’s House provides a child-friendly environment where children are helped through coordinated efforts of child protection, law enforcement, and prosecution, healthcare, and mental health agencies when child abuse is suspected, disclosed or reported. Victims will find Ginnie’s House to be a child-friendly place that reduces further trauma by coordinating these agencies."
"The Tomorrows Children’s Fund was founded by a group of committed parents to help their children and others like them with cancer and serious blood disorders. With the help of friends like you, today, TCF provides a warm, healthy and loving environment for children in treatment and a full scope of services to relieve families’ emotional and financial stress. In addition to our direct financial aid programs, TCF also offers an array of activities, events, outings, special guests and parties, designed to provide our young patients with a brighter tomorrow. All of which confirms our belief that through hope, hard work and heartfelt generosity, extraordinary things are possible."
"Wildlife rehabilitation is the care and treatment of injured, orphaned and sick wildlife so they can be released back to the natural habitat as functional members of their species. It involves unique challenges for each species, and combines aspects of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, animal behavior, biology, and natural sciences."
Every effort is made to provide the most appropriate and best care, then release wildlife patients as soon as possible for their safety and well-being.

Grays Harbor Conservation District
"Conservation Districts provide services that help meet the needs of local people, properties, and the natural resources that we all share. We accomplish this through site-specific plans for your property that are designed to maximize both your land use and conservation goals!
