GALF’s There’s No Place Like Home fundraiser returns this November

The Guardian ad Litem Foundation’s (GALF) annual fundraiser There’s No Place Like Home (NPLH) returns Saturday, November 4, at the Garden Club of Jacksonville in Riverside from 6-10 p.m. The Emerald City-worthy event will feature food from Chef’s Garden, spirits, live and silent auctions, and music from Bold City Classics. Tickets are $150 per person and are available for purchase at the GALF website.

GALF has been serving children in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties since 1991. They help abused, abandoned, and neglected children who have been removed from their home as they navigate the dependency system.  

“It is difficult to fathom that there are 1,200 abandoned, neglected and abused children going through our court system right here in our own community,” said Avondale resident Chavet Constable, NPLH committee chair and GALF board vice chair. “These are innocent young children who have found themselves alone and without a voice. This is where Guardian ad Litem comes to the rescue.” 

Children with a Guardian ad Litem are half as likely to re-enter foster care, more likely to be adopted by a loving family and more likely to perform well in school.
