Boys Town has served children and families for more than 100 years. During this pandemic they have not, and cannot stop the care or services to those in need. This includes ensuring In-Home Family Consultants are available 24/7 to provide support for families in times of crisis, including making necessary in-person visits to assess the safety of children. Boys Town also provides virtual healthcare to patients who are ill or have chronic health conditions. Other services include keeping families connected to food, diapers, hygiene products that meet their daily needs; answering the increased number of calls to the Boys Town National Hotline® from families and teens in crisis.
You can help. You can be part something great this Memorial Day! When you run for Boys Town, you are helping more children and families get the care and services they need.
