More than just a delicious dessert, this chocolate is for a cause. Restaurants, sponsors and attendees of the 14th Annual Chocolate Fest help raise funds that ensure child victims of abuse and neglect receive timely, effective and streamlined treatment. Gulf Coast Kid’s House facilitates a collaborative response to abuse cases, ensuring that medical exams, recorded interviews, prosecution and mental health counseling occur in one child-friendly facility. This “one-stop” concept greatly reduces the trauma children experience and leads to better case outcomes. In 2016, GCKH provided services to over 3,600 child victims of abuse in Escambia County.
