Isn’t it time that we focus on what unites us? In the Quad Cities we believe that all our kids deserve a safe and joyful childhood. This month, we celebrate the small actions each of us can take that make a big impact on the well-being of our children.
Every year, thousands of cases of child abuse and neglect are reported in the Quad Cities each year. But there’s good news! Child abuse is 100% preventable. Everyone in our community has a role to play in making sure that our community is the best place for children and families to thrive.
