On May 11th, 2024, the Children’s Advocacy Center of Jackson County had the privilege of participating in the Made in Southern Oregon Street Fair held in Central Point. It was an exciting opportunity for us to connect with our community and raise awareness for our cause, and we are thrilled to share our experience with you.

From the moment we set up our booth, we were greeted with enthusiasm and warmth from attendees. The vibrant atmosphere of the street fair provided the perfect backdrop for engaging conversations and meaningful interactions. We had the chance to connect with a diverse range of people, from local residents to visitors from neighboring communities, all united in their support for our mission.

Throughout the day, we had the opportunity to share information about the important work of the Children’s Advocacy Center and the services we provide to child abuse victims and their families. We discussed the prevalence of child abuse in our community, the impact it has on young lives, and the crucial role that each individual can play in preventing and addressing this issue.

One of the highlights of the event was the opportunity to hear from members of our community who shared their own experiences and insights. Their stories underscored the importance of our work and served as a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together as a community to support one another.

As the day came to a close, we left the Made in Southern Oregon Street Fair feeling grateful and inspired. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to have participated in this event and for the support and encouragement we received from everyone we met. Our experience at the street fair reaffirmed our commitment to our mission and strengthened our resolve to continue advocating for the safety and well-being of children in Jackson County.

We look forward to future opportunities to engage with our community and raise awareness for our cause. Together, we can make a difference and create a brighter future for all children.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and shared in this meaningful experience with us. Your support means the world to us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a caring and compassionate community.
