Formerly known as Rheedlen Centers for Children and Families, HCZ, Inc.'s 15 centers serve more than 12,500 children and adults, including over 8,600 at-risk children. The emphasis of The Children's Zone work is not just on education, social service and recreation, but on rebuilding the very fabric of community life."
