April is Child Abuse Prevention Month 💙
Alongside our incredible team, playgroup families, and community members, we planted pinwheels outside the Del Pepper Community Resource Center to celebrate childhood and raise awareness. Each pinwheel represents the bright, happy, and safe childhood every child deserves.
