Mission Rallies Against Child Abuse: Buckner International Leads the Charge
In an effort to combat child abuse and raise community awareness, Buckner International is hosting the “Pinwheels for Prevention Festival and Walk” at the Rio Grande Children’s Home in Mission. This vital event not only highlights the ongoing fight against child abuse but also fosters community solidarity in protecting its most vulnerable members.
Alarming Statistics Prompt Action
The urgency of this event is underscored by the troubling statistics from the Department of Family and Protective Services, which recorded over 14,000 cases of child abuse and neglect in the region in 2022 alone. These numbers are a stark reminder of the challenges many children face in silence.
A Day of Awareness and Enjoyment
Scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 PM, the festival is set to offer a blend of educational resources and family-friendly activities. Attendees will have access to vital information on recognizing signs of abuse and learning how to help children in distress.
Engaging Activities for a Cause
In addition to its educational purpose, the event promises plenty of entertainment. With an array of food options, games, and raffle prizes, the festival aims to provide a fun and engaging atmosphere for all ages. These activities not only serve to bring the community together but also to create a supportive environment where families can learn and grow together.
