MDT Coordinator, Kyllah, here! Summer is in full swing and we are just beginning a new fiscal year here at the FWCAC. During the last few months, we have had a lot of exciting things happening around the center! In this newsletter, I will update you on recent fundraisers, congratulate some of our own staff, thank those who have supported/donated to the center, and more! We hope you are having a great summer so far and appreciate you staying up to date with what's happening at the center! |

We want to send a huge thank you to everyone who helped make National Child Abuse Prevention Month so successful!

Interdiction for the Protection of Children Training |
|

The FWCAC is grateful for the chance to have attended this training put on by the Illinois State Police. During this training, CAC's (along with other disciplines) learned tools to better serve victims of human trafficking. It was a great reminder of why we work together as a multidisciplinary team and how powerful that teamwork can be. | | |
|
|
A big THANK YOU to the Herrin Woman’s Club for their donation. We are grateful for their support and eagerness to learn more about the work our CAC does! |
|
Thank you, Poshard Foundation, for your continued support of the CAC's mission! We truly appreciate your work in giving back to the children in our community. |

Each year the FWCAC hosts our Annual Protocol Review Meeting. This meeting is essential to ensuring that we are doing all we can for the families and MDT partners we work with. We want to thank the members of our MDT that were able to attend this meeting and help us update our protocol! |

Taking a look at the Stats |
|
|
From forensic interviews, counseling and gas cards for transportation we are proud to offer all services to the families we serve free of charge. To do so, we utilize state and federal funding as well as donations from our local community. Without your support, we would not be able to do what we do! We thank you for continuing to support the FWCAC's mission. |

Our Amazon Wishlist is an easy and convenient way to support the children right here in your community.
When children come to the CAC for their interview, we provide snacks, drinks, send them home with a backpack full of hygiene products, fidget toys, books, and school supplies. And while we run through these products rather quickly, donors who shop our Amazon Wishlist allow us to keep giving. |
