Love-A-Child Missions was founded in 1984 by Jerome Knott who had a growing concern for the fatherless and disadvantaged children in his community, He established a weekly program for children to enjoy good clean fun, such as swimming and camping to avoid the drug infested environment in which they lived. Children came from throughout the community to be a part of this loving family. These weekly events lead to children's Christmas and Easter events where thousands of children have participated annually. In some of these events, the "Say No To Drugs" theme was introduced with the gospel of Jesus Christ and expressed in a way children could understand and respond to. These outreaches have brought to light the desperate cries of the homeless women and children in the community. In 1992, eight years after Love-A-Child Missions' beginning, the Homeless Recovery Shelter was opened in response the the tremendous needs of homeless women and children in the East Contra Costa County. Love-A-Child Missions Homeless Recovery Shelter is now the largest emergency shelter for women and children in Contra Costa County. Love-A-Child Missions is now looking forward to expanding its services and facilities in the coming few years.
