 The Alex and Brandon Child Safety Center gives children in the Brainerd area safe place to visit with their parents and avoid any domestic violence issues that may occur. Thanks to many businesses in the Brainerd Lakes area, families and children using the Alex and Brandon Child Safety Center will have several new toys to play with this holiday season. The playroom at the Child Safety Center was decorated for the holiday season as many toys await the children that come into the center. So Tammy, she's a volunteer who originally started this and so we've been helping her out with doing this and so we're the ones that get to benefit from this insane magical she's done an amazing job and we're so grateful for volunteers like her and community members who donated all of this great stuff. The toys were donated by many local businesses and community members in the Brainerd Lakes area. Some toys will stay at the center for children to use and others will be donated to the women's center and families in need that use Alex and Brandon Child Safety Center services. This project of decorating the playroom is to try to bring brighten up children and family and women's for the holidays to make a brighter holidays for all those children that are affected by domestic abuse and violence. The Alex and Brandon Child Safety Center has been serving family since the year 2000 and has opened 365 days a year.
