Here are just a few ways you can help to prevent child abuse or neglect in your community.

You can help by volunteering at your local schools, churches, or other organizations.  You can search for organizations that need volunteers below:

Many charitable organizations are non-profit, meaning they depend upon monetary donations to help others. Many of these charities also accept donations of non-perishable food items.

Report any suspicions of abuse or neglect to the proper authorities.  Be sure to include the child’s full name, age, and address to ensure a quick response to your report.

Help prevent child abuse and neglect by spending time with children in your family.  Read a child a story, help with homework, or make a meal together.  You will make a child’s day brighter!

Donate your unused, gently worn clothing to your local churches or charities.  Coats and jackets are especially important in the cold and rainy months.
