HANNIBAL â Employees of Douglass Community Services will display blue pinwheels of hope in recognition of April being National Child Abuse Awareness Month at noon Monday, April 12. The public is invited to join the ceremony at 711 Grand Ave. in Hannibal.
This month and throughout the year, DCS encourages all individuals and organizations to play a role in making Northeast Missouri a better place for children and families. By ensuring that parents have the knowledge, skills and resources they need to care for their children, communities can help prevent child abuse and neglect by making meaningful connections with children, youth and families in local communities.
