For 48 years, Children First Counseling Center has provided hope and healing to survivors of abuse, neglect, and trauma — regardless of their ability to pay. In this special episode of United Voices of Grand Prairie, hosts Patti Brock and Jean Bondy from Grand Prairie United Charities are joined by guest host Jenna Pecor and Amber Alexander, CEO of Children First Counseling Center, to highlight the 30th annual Little Lunch of Hope and its powerful theme: 💜 Catch Them Before They Fall.
More than just a fundraiser, the Little Lunch of Hope is a lifeline for children and youth in crisis. Every dollar raised helps Children First provide trauma-informed counseling that prevents kids from falling — into depression, isolation, or generational cycles of pain.
Amber shares her inspiring journey of service and leadership, while Patti and Jean discuss how partnerships between Children First and Grand Prairie United Charities create real impact for local families. Together, they remind us that early, compassionate intervention doesn’t just change lives — it saves them.
