Faith Based and Community Engagement Specialist, JulieAnn Greenfield teamed up with the Community Engagement Staff at 2INgage to help Celebrate Kids and Families on April 22nd in Eastland. The Eastland County Child Welfare Board hosted a free hot dog lunch and resource event for children and families in Eastland. There was a great turn out by the community and a great way to end Child Abuse Prevention Month.

DFPS staff and community partners came together in April for the 2nd Annual Walk the Walk Event for child abuse prevention in Richmond, Texas. Attendees wore blue, got some exercise in and talked about the importance of child safety and nurturing strong families. Watch a short video about the event.

Friday April the 14th was Child Abuse Prevention Month night at the San Antonio Missions baseball game.

The FBCE Region 8 team – Lauren Garcia, Salina Ramos, and Jacob Gutierrez - set up a booth near the 3rd base gate and handed out lots of pencils, brochures, and hundreds of t-shirts. The Bexar County Child Welfare Board sponsored the t-shirts.  It was fun seeing so many blue t-shirts in the crowd.
