Children's Square U.S.A.

Children’s Square U.S.A. has a rich history of caring for children from birth to 23 years and their families, meeting their individualized needs, instilling hope and helping restore lives. 

Every day, we provide life-improving programs for more than 1,000 children, youth, and families in Iowa and Nebraska who have behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric needs. These programs, include: counseling, emergency services for children, early childhood care, foster care, and residential treatment and education for children with serious emotional and behavioral disorders.

For Giving Tuesday this year, we are asking for your support to purchase games. From classic board games to cutting-edge electronic systems, games have a magical way of bringing joy and fostering connections among children. We believe in the transformative power of play, and we invite you to be a part of this enriching experience!

Our goal is to provide our children with a sense of normalcy during the holidays, recreating a warm, home-like atmosphere that many of us were fortunate to experience in our own childhoods. We are dedicated to fostering meaningful traditions that revolve around games, allowing our children to partake in the joy of festive holiday activities.
