"Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime" -Herbert Ward
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month💙
La Puente’s Adelante Family Resource Center encourages everyone to join the fight in preventing child abuse. Early detection and intervention are crucial to protecting children from abuse* and providing them with the support they need to heal and thrive.
Adelante seeks to be a support for families. Too many individuals and families are unable to reach their potential because often they lack the support, skills, and resources to make that transformation possible.
Adelante works closely with families as they identify and achieve their dreams by providing educational opportunities, job support, financial management training, counseling, and other foundational support.

*Reporting suspicions of child abuse to the appropriate authorities is essential in ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable children. To report suspected child abuse, contact the Colorado Child Abuse & Neglect Hotline at 844-CO-4-Kids (844-264-5437)

🌍 This #EarthDay, we’re taking a moment for #ThrowbackTuesday to when La Puente’s V.E.G.I. (Valley Educational Gardening Initiative) was planting the seeds—of both crops and community—at the Boyd Community Garden. 💚 With spring approaching, the V.E.G.I. team and local volunteers gathered to envision the growing season ahead and to get the greenhouse ready to support fresh, nourishing produce. 🌱🌸 #RootedInCommunity #CommunityGardening #GoTeam
