Today, Colusa County came together for the Children’s Memorial Flag Raising 2026 to honor the lives of children affected by abuse and to raise awareness for Child Abuse Prevention Month.

This meaningful event reminds us that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. By standing together as a community, we can help prevent child abuse, support families, and be a voice for those who need it most.

A special thank you to Colusa County Community Advocates for Parents and Children (CAPC), Social Services and Law Enforcement agencies for their dedication, advocacy, and continued efforts in protecting children and supporting families throughout our community.

Let us continue to raise awareness, encourage prevention, and protect the future of our children.
