Parents are experiencing a mental health crisis. Give today to support parents so their children aren’t impacted.

Every April, we commemorate Blue Ribbon Month to bring awareness to the issue of child maltreatment and raise funds to support families and keep children safe. In 2024, there were 64 confirmed victims of child abuse and neglect in our community. Sadly, the true number of victims is likely much higher because abuse is greatly under reported.

Despite their best intentions, a parent’s struggles can impact their children, even leading to neglect or abuse. Thankfully, we can all play a role in keeping children safe.

Please make a gift today to:

• help parents meet their children’s most basic needs with grocery gift cards so their kids don’t go hungry.

• give parents a safe place to turn to when they are in crisis and connect them with housing, mental health care and other resources so their children aren’t impacted.

• fund child abuse prevention training so adults in our community learn how to identify abuse and know how to report it, so children are protected.

• teach parents how to manage their parenting challenges in a positive way so they can break the cycle of abuse.
