The vision for ACES began in 2003 when Judge Brenda Weaver faced yet another heart wrenching case when a ten year old girl needed to be placed in the state's custody due to physical abuse by her father, yet there were no available foster homes in Jasper. Having witnessed this similar scenario hundreds of times in the court system, Judge Weaver cried out to the community for action. The community of Pickens County answered her call by initiating the Appalachian Children's Emergency Shelter. Construction of the ACES home was completed in December 2008. Thanks to the generosity of individuals, civic groups, businesses, and churches, our facility was built and furnished with zero debt. |
