April is National Child Abuse Prevention month. We want to bring awareness and support to two amazing charities that we will be donating 10% of the proceeds to each; Child Help, prevention and treatment for abused and neglected children and Forgotten Harvest, stopping child hunger. The rest of the proceeds will go to each Howard classroom for teacher support and the funding of educational programs.
​
Child Help's main mission is to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children. Five children die every day as a result of child abuse and neglect. Many more go undetected.
​
Forgotten Harvest is dedicated to relieving hunger in communities all around the country and preventing nutritious food waste. Each year 16 million children in the United States struggles with hunger.
Let's help put an end to child abuse and child hunger. Let us be the helping hand these children so desperately need.
