Child Abuse Prevention Month
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. A collaborative time to raise awareness and empower people across the nation to play a role in ensuring happy, healthy childhoods for all children. Our efforts to raise awareness, encourage engagement, and impact positive change this year are as vital as ever.
Plant A Pinwheel Garden
Pinwheels are the national symbol for child abuse prevention. They symbolize a happy, healthy childhood. These gardens can help remind ourselves and the community about our commitment to prevent child abuse. Sponsor a Pinwheel Garden at your business to show your support to stop child abuse in our community.
2026 Pinwheel Gardens
There are over 400+ Pinwheel Gardens around Elkhart County, representing our community’s shared commitment to keeping children safe and helping them thrive. Pinwheels represent the joys of childhood and the positive cycles of hope and love. Thank you to the Community Foundation of Elkhart County for sponsoring this year’s pinwheel gardens.
