| | Kern County Department of Human Services - Child Well Being - Jamison Children's Center |
 | | Although Jamison Children's Center is funded through a county tax supported budget, government revenue is decreasing at a time when reported cases of child abuse continue to rise. |
 | | Opportunities to make a difference in a child's life exist for individuals, who wish to volunteer on a regular basis, and for business and civic groups willing to donate their time and effort to take on a special project to benefit the Jamison Children's Center. |
 | | As the only emergency shelter in Kern County for abused, neglected and exploited children, Jamison Children's Center temporarily houses children who are taken into protective custody by law enforcement agencies or social workers. |
