  NRV Cares is a private, nonprofit organization that works to advocate for, educate, and promote happy, healthy children and families. Working with various community partners, we strive to prevent child abuse and neglect in the New River Valley and surrounding areas. Through our various programs and partnerships, we provide not only community education, but parent support, and a voice for victims of child abuse and neglect. No child should ever have to endure abuse of any kind. It is our responsibility, their village, to ensure the safety of our children. Together, we are better. Together our children have a chance at happy, successful lives; working together in our community means getting out and talking to community leaders and legislators, promoting strong funding models, and providing vital education; making a difference by inspiring others to make a difference.
