CRN's Work
Children's Relief Nursery (CRN) works with children in the first, most important years of life. Our mission is to prevent abuse and neglect in children birth through three by partnering with caregivers committed to strengthening their families. Education for parents and relief for families under stress promote healthier solutions. Since 2001, CRN has provided family support services – at no cost – to high risk Multnomah county families. We are building a community where children are safe.
