Award ImageWASHINGTON D.C., June 8, 2009 -- Gateways For Youth & Families has been selected for the 2009 Best of Tacoma Award in the Social Service & Welfare Organizations category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

 

GATEWAYS for Youth and Families is located in Pierce County, Washington. It provides comprehensive services to children in need with the same pioneering spirit, innovation and common-sense solutions the community had depended upon since 1890. That's when our Founding Mothers first incorporated the organization as the Children's Industrial Home and dedicated the organization to improving the lives of disadvantaged and ill-treated children. We continue to operate as a private Child Placement Agency for foster children, but we've expanded our services beyond the hospital, school, gymnasium, nursery and dormitories built for the children at the Home on the Hill.
