About Hibiscus Children’s Center
Hibiscus Children’s Center, founded in 1985 by LaVaughn Tilton, is a non-profit organization serving Martin, Indian River, Okeechobee and St. Lucie counties. The mission of Hibiscus Children’s Center is to provide safety for abused, abandoned and neglected children through prevention programs, residential programs, shelter programs and recovery programs. Hibiscus accomplishes our mission through providing a safe haven to children at the Hibiscus Children’s Village in Vero Beach and the Tilton Family Children’s Shelter in Jensen Beach.
In addition, Hibiscus addresses the problem of abuse with mental health services, prevention services for families in crisis, sexual abuse services for victims and their families, and provides enhanced services for children including literacy, educational and enriching activities. The Thrift Store, located in Stuart, helps to offset costs for the programs. The Village and Shelter are funded, in part, by the Florida Department of Children and Families through Devereux Community Based Care of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast. An additional $2.3 million must be raised each year by community donations, special events and grants. Hibiscus is also a United Way affiliated organization. Hibiscus speakers are available to present to your group. For more information, please contact us at (800) 403-9311 or visit HibiscusChildrensCenter.org.
