Youth and Family Services will hold a ground-breaking for new location near Gary E. Miller Canadian County Children’s Justice Center.

The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation awarded YFS a $3.9 million grant in 2002 to build a new shelter and facility. To meet the requirements of this grant, YFS raised $780,000 for a restricted maintenance fund and is raising $850,000 for remaining construction costs. About $127,000 has been raised for the additional construction costs.
