Our Ridge team joined communities across Kentucky in raising awareness for Child Abuse Prevention Month by planting pinwheels—symbols of the safe, happy childhood every child deserves.
Each pinwheel represents hope, protection, and our shared responsibility to speak up, support families, and create stronger, safer communities for Kentucky’s children.
