Rebecca Shetler Fast joined Hometown Living to share the story of CAPS at an important moment as we enter Child Abuse Prevention Month.

She talks about the impact our community has made together and what’s ahead as we move forward with Maple City. It’s a reminder that creating safe, healthy, and thriving futures for families happens when a community shows up.

Take a moment to watch the segment and be part of what comes next.

Big shoutout to Zach Miller from Froggy 102.7 for hitting the road and delivering pinwheels all across Elkhart County!

Because of you, more of our community gets to show up for kids in a big, visible way.

That’s how we turn awareness into action.

We appreciate you showing up and making it happen.

Today, our team came together to plant over 2,000 pinwheels across our space kickstarting Child Abuse Prevention Month in a way that’s both visible and meaningful.

Each pinwheel represents hope, safety, and the commitment we share as a community to protect children.

For 50 years, CAPS has stood together for kids and today was a beautiful reminder that when we show up together, prevention works.

We’re just getting started.
