Challenged Child and Friends, Inc. has a long history of partnerships with corporations, churches, and civic organizations in Northeast Georgia. Our center, a 19,300 square foot, state-of-the-art facility built in 2000, with an expansion completed in fall 2004, is a testimony to the generosity of individuals, groups and corporations. Land, building products and services were donated to make our early intervention center a place where disabled children can learn, grow and succeed with their typically developing peers.
