Our mission to provide and share solutions that promote the well-being of children and families in need of a second chance drives every action Eckerd Kids takes. Built on a bedrock of solution-oriented programs, Eckerd Kids assists both public and private organizations by sharing its best practices and advocating for system reform across the nation.
