Proudly serving Haywood County's children and families for more than 30 years.
KARE, Inc (Kids Advocacy Resource Effort) exists to facilitate a community response to child abuse, neglect, and exploitation in Haywood County through outreach, advocacy, and specialized interventions.
KARE is a nationally accredited Child Advocacy Center (CAC) in good standing with the National Children’s Alliance and is a Prevent Child Abuse affiliate.
KARE is a unique agency. Our primary job is to advocate for victims, but we also believe that proper education will lead to abuse prevention.

Additionally, we reach every elementary school student in Haywood County through our School Safety Program by teaching students about body safety.
