The Up Center, formerly known as Child & Family Services of Eastern Virginia, is marking its 125th anniversary this year by making unprecedented changes:

• We began the year by changing our name to The Up Center.  
• We expanded our locations, establishing an office in Suffolk and an office in the Koger  complex on the Norfolk-Virginia-Beach border.  
• We increased our budget 50-percent by working even harder to expand our services, reach  out to the community, and look for new ways to lift Up children, families and individuals who need our help.  

To mark this phenomenal growth and our 125 years of service, we are planning an official celebration in the fall:
