🚐 Lucy, the Literacy Bus, enjoyed participating in the Dogwood Festival Parade.
👟 Thank You to our amazing volunteers!
📚 We gave out 200 new Pete the Cat books
💚 We know it’s no coincidence that most of our volunteers are teachers, because they truly understand the importance of building home libraries and instilling the love of reading in children in HC!

🌼 April is Child Abuse Prevention Month 🌼

Strong families build safe, thriving children—and we all have a role to play. One powerful way to prevent child abuse and neglect is by strengthening families through the 5 Protective Factors:

💪 Parental Resilience – Managing stress and bouncing back from challenges
🧠 Knowledge of Parenting & Child Development – Understanding what children need to grow and thrive
🫶 Concrete Support in Times of Need – Access to food, housing, healthcare, and resources
🤝 Social Connections – Supportive relationships with family, friends, and community
💛 Social & Emotional Competence of Children – Helping children express emotions and build healthy relationships

When these protective factors are strong, families are stronger—and children are safer.

Let’s come together this month to support families, build connections, and create a community where every child can grow up safe, supported, and loved. 💙
