Lamb's Fold Center for Women and Children does not have specific geographic boundaries for the provision of services. Though many of our residents come from the Joliet/Will County area, we also often serve women and children from Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Cook, DuPage and Kankakee Counties due to the shortage of services there, or the resident's need to relocate to evade a stalker or abuser.
