1Title:  Barrett Chapter of Florence Crittenton Services of Greater Cleveland, Inc., Records     
 Creator:  Barrett Chapter of Florence Crittenton Services of Greater Cleveland 
 Dates:  1944-1998 
 Abstract:  The Barrett Chapter of Florence Crittenton Services of Greater Cleveland was founded in 1944 as the Junior Board of the Florence Crittenton Mission in Cleveland, Ohio. The Florence Crittenton Home for Unwed Mothers of Cleveland was established in 1911, and served the needs of unwed mothers and their children until 1970. From 1970 to 1996, the organization focused on providing services for delinquent and pre-delinquent girls. The Junior Board provided volunteer opportunities for daughters of the board members and trustees of the organization. Through membership dues and fundraising activities such as flea markets and bazaars, members of the Junior Board provided funds for new furniture, paint, and curtains for the Crittenton home, magazine subscriptions and books for the girls living there, and other items to make life more comfortable. In 1950 the Junior Board changed its name to the Barrett Chapter to honor Katherine Waller Barrett, who was a national superintendant and president of the Florence Crittenton Mission. The Barrett Chapter continued its modest fundraising activities until the closure of Florence Crittenton Services in Cleveland in 1996. The collection consists of articles of incorporation, a biography, by-laws, constitutions, correspondence, minutes, newspaper clippings, publications, regulations, reports, and rules.
