Small gifts, big impact!

Children visiting our center are part of an active investigation into child abuse. We couldnโ€™t do what we do without the incredible support of volunteers like, Tammy Wright.

This is the third year of her Scentsy drive, donating stuffed animals to help bring comfort and smiles to our kiddos. Thank you, Tammy, for your continued generosity and for being such a meaningful part of our mission!

๐ŸŽƒ 5 Halloween Safety Tips for a Fun & Safe Night!

Stay Visible!
Use reflective tape, flashlights or glow sticks so drivers can see you after dark. ๐Ÿ’ก

Plan a Safe Route.
Stick to well-lit areas, sidewalks, and always use crosswalks.๐Ÿšธ

Check Costumes.
Ensure costumes fit well, avoid long hems that can trip you up, and opt for face paint over masks for improved visibility. ๐Ÿง™โ™€๏ธ

Inspect Treats.
Wait until youโ€™re home to eat candy and check for any wrappers that look unusual or opened. ๐Ÿฌ

Stay Together.
Trick-or-treat in groups or with a trusted adult. ๐Ÿ‘ป

Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy all the spooky sweetness this Halloween! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ’›

Like, saying yes when you can.

Sometimes, connection means flexibility. Saying โ€œyesโ€ to small things, like a late-night snack or a spontaneous outing, shows her that you value time together.

Coca-Cola Consolidated provides generous financial support to help keep our center fully staffed and serving child victims of abuse with medical care, therapy and the support they need to heal.

They surprised us by also replenishing our stuffed animals, each one given to a child who walks through our doors, offering comfort when itโ€™s needed most. ๐Ÿงธ We can't thank them enough for this contribution.

Want to join them in supporting our work? Every gift helps us be here when children need us most. ๐Ÿ’™

Only about 1 in 3 cases of child abuse are ever identified and reported to authorities.

Why donโ€™t children report?
๐Ÿ”น Afraid no one will believe them
๐Ÿ”น Feel ashamed, guilty, or confused
๐Ÿ”น Threatened or scared by the abuser
๐Ÿ”น Care about or trust the abuser
๐Ÿ”น Donโ€™t realize it was abuse

๐Ÿ’ก Most children do not tell and when they do, they often tell someone they trust before ever telling a professional. ๐“๐ก๐š๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ, ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐š ๐ซ๐ž๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ!
