This month, Newton Federal Bank employees selected A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center, Inc. to be the recipient of their monthly donation that comes directly from their generous employees. We are so thankful for community support! Thanks Newton Federal!  In an effort to be the most environmentally sustainable we can, A Child's Voice is in the process of working with The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta and Grants to Green to reduce water and electricity usage in our building. Not only does this allow us to be more green, it also allows us to re-allocate funds that would be used to pay for utilities into direct services. This means we can see more children for forensic interviews and forensic medical examinations. For more information on Grants to Green, visit their website here.
We went through an assessment process to determine ways to reduce our energy output. Some things we are aiming to achieve based on this assessment include:
We are excited for this opportunity and can't wait to be more environmentally sustainable with help from Grants to Green!

Sincerely, Katie  It's that time of year, fall....... get your boots and plaid out and make sure to carry around a pumpkin spiced something today! SO, this is Kip and his father Brent. Brent is on officer we have had the pleasure of working with before! His wife, Andria, was also here to help and has volunteered to help us out in the past as well! BUT this is about Kip! Kip is 4 years old and has a heart of gold! Kip spent his own money buying games and snacks for the children at our center. The kids sometimes spend up to 4 hours with us at a time! We like to provide snacks and have plenty of fun things for them to do while they are with us. Kip and his parents split the cost of everything they brought us. We are so proud of him and thankful for him and his parents setting a good example for our community. Thank you Kip, Andria and Brent for your support! OK..... Back to pumpkin spice!! I found these pumpkin spice latte cupcakes to share with friends and family for the next football game this weekend. They look delightful! Just Thought I would throw something sweet out for you to try!

Please read our resources page and if you suspect anything do the right thing and call! You never know what is going on behind closed doors, a child who may be needing your help, may never say anything to anyone. About a third of child abuse cases are reported. Yikes, we have to do more to help these kiddos! 
 Hello friends!
My name is Katie, I will be doing most of the blogging here for A Child's Voice. I have never blogged before but here we go! I will be providing news about festivals, the community, schools, kids, whatever seems relevant to providing information about the CAC and our community we live in. Come join us October 4th 2014 at 9am- 4pm for the Social Circle friendship Festival! We will have a tent set up with information on what we do, the Darkness2light class that our lovely forensic interview specialist, Lindsey, teaches, and volunteer information for anyone looking to help out in the community they live in. More information will be provided about the festival later, but I can tell you last year was fun! There were some great local bands playing and lots of face painting and hair glittering! We also got to pet some animals and there was plenty of snacks to go around. Also Lots of prizes to win from the different booths! Who doesn't love free stuff? So please come see us! Also, Change the World day is coming up at First United Methodist Church in Covington on October 25th 2014. We hope everyone has a safe weekend! |
