Creating Better Tomorrows

Our Mission is to promote health and hope for tomorrow’s children by providing comprehensive health, educational, and social services for single pregnant and non-pregnant adolescents and women, as well as mothers and babies in the foster care system. 

Join us for our Annual Breakfast!

Join us for breakfast at our annual fundraising event and learn more about the transformative work we do each day to create better tomorrows for women, adolescents, and their families in our community. You will hear inspiring stories from former clients and those whose lives have been impacted by Crittenton, and learn about Crittenton’s role in facilitating health, equity, and success in Charlotte. Please RSVP if you would like to attend by clicking here. If you are unable to attend, please consider making a contribution to support Crittenton!

Vision for the Future Capital Campaign

In 2020 we began our $3.5 million Vision for the Future Capital Campaign to be able to purchase our new residential facility on West Blvd. This move has allowed us to expand our program capacity and ensure the future sustainability of Crittenton. It is part of our strategic initiative to evolve and better meet the changing needs of women and girls in need of a safe place to heal, learn, and gain independent living skills. We invite you to learn more and support our efforts.
