In 2007, a record number of children - 51,198 - received help from Boys Town's youth care and health care programs in more than a dozen states and the District of Columbia. More than 500,000 children and families were directly assisted through the Boys Town National Hotline, including more than 38,000 youth who made calls where hotline staff intervened to save the caller's life or provide therapeutic counseling. Nearly 900,000 more children were assisted through Child and Family Support Services last year. Boys Town's National Headquarters and largest child-care facility are located at the world-famous, historic Village of Boys Town in Nebraska.
For the third consecutive time, Boys Town itself was listed as one of America's 100 Best Communities for Young People.
