It's #VolunteerAppreciationWeek, and at CSSW, we have a lot of people to thank! Volunteers stock our Northside Food Pantry, help with landscaping, serve on our Board of Directors, help clients apply for Medicare and Medicaid, manage fundraising events, spend time with children who've been abused, volunteer outside CSSW through RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program)—and more! We are beyond grateful for their dedication and generosity. Want to join our team of superheroes?

More than 600,000 children are abused in the U.S. each year. At the Washtenaw Child Advocacy Center (WCAC), children who have experienced abuse share their testimony once, minimizing their retraumatization while providing a team of medical, psychological, and law enforcement professionals with everything they need. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we urge you to support the life-changing work we do for exploited children in Southeast Michigan. Please direct your gift to WCAC here: https://conta.cc/3FgJVPk Because every child deserves to be safe.
