April marks the beginning of Child Abuse Awareness Month, and A Kid’s Place, a child advocacy center, is set to launch a Pinwheel Campaign to raise awareness in Giles, Lawrence, Maury, and Wayne counties. The campaign aims to support A Kid’s Place in their mission to provide hope, help, and healing to individuals impacted by allegations of sexual and severe abuse. To show your support, you can order pinwheels and a sign from their website at KPCAC.org.
The initiative will kick off on Monday at 11 AM with a gathering at the Lawrence County Courthouse. Following this, on Tuesday at 2 PM, a similar event will take place at the courthouse on Public Square in Waynesboro. During these gatherings, pinwheels will be planted, and there will be a public reading of the proclamation to raise awareness about the importance of addressing child abuse in the community.
