December 23 marks the begining of another year Children's Square U.S.A. has been serving children and families. When Reverend Joseph Goff Lemen anwsered his front door on the evening of December 23, 1882 to find a desperate father with three children seeking help, he probably had no idea the impact he was about to have on our world. Today, we serve over 425 children and their families every day.
