The Child Advocacy Center of Putnam County works to support and protect child victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and domestic violence.
One of our participants said it best, “I haven’t run too much lately, had a few nagging aches and pains. But it was a good reminder of how much suffering kids go through and how a few aches are nothing compared to the pain of kids who have been abused. Thank you for organizing this event and the great work you do.”
One in 10 children will be abused before their 18th birthday. The vital work of the Child Advocacy Center of Putnam County needs your help to continue to serve this community within a safe, family-friendly environment offering prevention education, advocacy, justice, and a path to healing.
