The Kane County Child Advocacy Center, 427 Campbell St. in downtown Geneva, was established in 1994 to ensure the coordination and cooperation in the investigation of cases of sexual abuse and severe physical abuse of children.
The Kane CAC investigates more than 300 cases of child sexual abuse each year. Friends of the CAC is a non-profit organization that helps families rebuild their lives after a report of child abuse. The Friends of the CAC help provide victim assistance, including emergency needs such as clothing, food and shelter to those victims and their families.

About Friends of the KCAC
In 2009, Kane County had the 5th highest level of child sexual and physical abuse reports in Illinois….surprised? Don’t be. Abuse is one of those crimes that, in the interest of the children, is kept quite. Fortunately, the strong legal system and the work of the Child Advocacy Center (CAC), Kane has a strong track record of ensuring that justice is served.
But, while the system ends with justice, the child’s journey, and that of their family, is just beginning. Rebuilding the lives requires support that starts at the report and continues well beyond the court’s verdict. Unfortunately, most families cannot afford the services that will give them the best chance of recovery and successful integration back into the community.
That’s where Friends of the KCAC (Kane Child Advocacy Center) comes in. We help families rebuild their lives through our programs, such as
- Specialized counseling programs;
- Support groups for victim’s families;
- Adopt-A-Family programs (assist families with food, clothing, etc)
- Medical equipment purchase (reduce invasiveness of investigative procedures);
- And many others.
We are always looking for volunteers and donations to help us help kids and their families rebuild their lives after this tragedy, so please join us today!
