The Boone County Asset Guide is a free guide hosted by Sylvia’s CAC. Families and children who come to Sylvia’s CAC are often referred to partners around Boone County by our Victim Advocates. These partners provide things we don’t, such as food, financial assistance, tutoring, things to do, counseling, and a whole lot more.
