PRN becomes CRN

(From the June 2004 Newsletter)

Portland Relief Nursery has changed its name to Children's Relief Nursery. This reflects the Nursery's goal of expanding its child abuse prevention services, and establishing facilities in addition to its current Portland location. The next Children's Relief Nursery is tentatively planned to open in 2007, most likely in Washington County.

Children's Relief Nursery recently launched CRN Enterprises, a new entity that will foster several small businesses. CRN Enterprises is now soliciting donations of new or gently used items worth at least $50 for online resale on Ebay. Future plans include selling children's furniture and toys including hand painted wooden rocking horses. All proceeds from these endeavors will generate funds for child abuse prevention programs.

CRN Enterprises would love to get donations of saleable items from SVPP partners. They'll even come and pick your items up! For more information, go to www.childrensreliefnursery.org/enterprises or call the Lead Partner Laura Finney at 503-617-4598.
