Child Abuse Prevention Month


April is Child Abuse Prevention Month!

Check out our events and activities throughout all of April. There are a variety of ways to support the Crisis Nursery: participate in one of the givebacks, donate to a drive, setup a “Pinwheel Garden” of your very own, and much more!!! Check back often for updates!

Download this flyer and hang it at your favorite businesses! Fight child abuse by showing your support of the Crisis Nursery.

There are so many ways to join in on the fun! Order food during one of the above givebacks and the Nursery will receive a percentage of the money spent when you mention the giveback at checkout! You can eat good food and give back to the Nursery at the same time!!!
