The Max & Helen Guernsey Charitable Foundation has awarded $20,000 each to the Allen Child Protection Center and the ACE-SAP (Allen Community Engagement-Salvation Army Partnership) Free Clinic.

The Allen Child Protection Center conducts medical evaluations and forensic interviews to provide immediate help for children in northeast and north central Iowa who may have been physically or sexually abused or who have witnessed a violent crime.

The ACE-SAP Free Clinic offers routine healthcare services at the Salvation Army center on Logan Avenue in Waterloo. Students in the Allen College Master of Science in Nursing and medical laboratory health sciences programs conduct the clinic under the direction of Allen College faculty members. The clinic is offered as part of the Allen College service-learning program.
