Campaigns & Special Projects – Lucas County Children Services

Lucas County Children Services often creates special campaigns
to address the needs and interests of our community.

Wear Blue Day

With more than 1,400 Lucas County children confirmed to have been victims of child abuse or neglect in Lucas County last year (2022), Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) is once again calling on the community at large to help raise awareness of this problem. > For More Information

2023 Child Memorial

On April 27, at 11 a.m., LCCS will host its annual Child Memorial at the agency’s Conference and Learning Center, 711 Adams St. This year’s ceremony will remember 17 children lost to abuse, neglect and community violence in the past year.

Family Violence Campaign

Family violence doesn’t just affect adults; chances are that kids are victims, too. Increased stress among parents or other adult caregivers is often a major predictor of physical abuse and neglect of children.

Beat the Heat…
Check the Back Seat!

Never leave your child alone in the car!
Each year, dozens of children and untold numbers of pets left in parked vehicles die from hyperthermia, a serious and potentially fatal condition that occurs when the body absorbs more heat than it can handle.

Back to School

Some families involved with Lucas County Children Services lack the resources to fully equip their children with the supplies necessary to start the school year off right. You can ensure that the children we serve have new crayons, notebooks, backpacks and other essentials, just like their classmates.

Holiday Gift Drive

The holiday season should be a joyous one for every child – including those who might be separated from their families due to abuse or neglect. Our annual campaign ensures that every child involved with Lucas County Children Services receives gifts and has an opportunity to celebrate the season.
