The Exchange Club needs your help, Quincy. Last year, like us, they lost their biggest fundraiser. A portion of those funds are used in their Child Abuse Prevention program, which benefits local partners – Cornerstone, Transitions and the Advocacy Network for Children – here in Quincy.
We are daily partners in caring for children, and the Exchange Club is continuing their efforts during Child Abuse Prevention Month to raise money through a virtual Blue Ribbon Campaign. Your tax deductible donation of $5, $10 or more will help them help those agencies on the front lines of protecting our children. More than $30,000 has been donated to these agencies over the past ten years and we all need help more than ever.
During the month of April, the Exchange Club will spotlight some of the work done by each agency and also what Exchange does both locally and nationally in the area a child abuse prevention.
Facebook pays all the processing fees for you, so 100% of your donation goes directly to the nonprofit. Follow the link below to be taken to their Facebook Fundraising page for the Virtual Blue Ribbon Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse.

Pinwheel Planting in Hancock County
CASA of Hancock County, a program of Advocacy Network for Children, will be hosting a “Pinwheel Planting” in honor of April being National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. The event will take place at the Hancock County Courthouse in Carthage on Wednesday, April 7th, at 12:15 p.m. under the courthouse flag.
Each pinwheel planted will represent an abused and neglected child in Hancock County that CASA represents. Child abuse occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions and at all levels of education. By rallying our neighbors, businesses, schools, friends and families, we can make a difference in the lives of these children. By promoting safety, awareness and dialogue, we can prevent abuse from happening in the first place and help keep our children safe.
For more information, please call Mandy Humphry at 319-795-3714.
