 A McGruff house is a temporary haven for children who find themselves in frightening or dangerous situations. Children are told they can go to specially marked McGruff Houses, which might be houses, apartments, or businesses, any time they sense danger as they go to and from school or at any time they are in Weaverville and become lost or frightened. Volunteers of the McGruff House project will: call the child’s parent/guardian or appropriate authorities if a child is lost or has a medical condition, Reassure the child if he/she is frightened, Report crimes and suspicious activity, and they all have consented to a extensive background check. Volunteers will not: Provide first aid (except in life-threatening situations), administer medications, supervise the neighborhood or enforce laws.
