When it’s your child—when it seems like the world has stopped—we’re here. Anchors Programs for Children exists for one reason: to support children and families facing a potentially life-limiting illness. Whether offering a child the comfort of a pediatric nurse, supporting a family’s unique needs, or extending emotional support to loved ones, we never stop finding ways to care. Following a nonprofit mission to serve all no matter what, we’re more than a symbol of support. We’re an anchor when it’s needed most.
