Children’s Advocacy Center for Denton County opened its doors in 1997 and since then has served more than 10,000 abused children.
The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) model originated with Alabama Congressman Robert E. “Bud” Cramer, Jr. In 1985, while serving as District Attorney, Cramer reached the conclusion that efforts to investigate and prosecute child abuse were often duplicated and inefficient. In a criminal justice system designed around adults, child victims were re-victimized by the system, having to retell their abuse stories to multiple investigators. Criminal cases were weakened by the lack of coordination between agencies. - CACDC

Lovepacs was born out of a shared desire to help children in our community. In November 2011, the four founding families were made aware of 6 kids at Camey Elementary in The Colony who were being sent home from school every Friday with a backpack of food because they were not getting enough to eat on the weekend.
After talking to the school counselor, we found out many of these kids were going to be hungry over the Thanksgiving holiday, when they were out of school for a week. Our desire is that Lovepacs can come alongside the school counselors so that we can resource them, take care of physical needs for the kids, and allow them to do what they do best—without worrying about the basic survival of their students. - Lovepacs

"When a police officer is killed, it's not an agency that loses an officer, it's an entire nation". In 1996 Chris Cosgriff, a James Madison University freshman, read a Washington Post article about the release of a murderer, convicted of slaying two Prince George's County, Maryland, police officers. Upon learning that this violent criminal who had taken the lives of two of America's finest served only 16 years for this heinous act, Chris was compelled to find a way to honor these and other fallen officers. Thus, the Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc., (ODMP) was created. - Chris Cosgriff, ODMP Founder
