The CAC is a multidisciplinary team dedicated to serving child victims of abuse and their families by providing collaborative services in a child friendly environment to reduce trauma and promote healing.
“Each year the Rotary Club raises funds and holds supply drives for local organizations which provide Rotarians a way to exercise the club tenet of ‘Service above Self’,” stated Bradford Rotary Club President, Angela Erway. “To raise awareness of Child Abuse Prevention Month and assist the CAC provide supplies for children who have experienced the trauma of abuse is very close to the heart of the Bradford Rotary Club.”
Supplies for the CAC can be dropped off at CARE for Children, 723 E. Main St., Bradford and the YWCA, 24 W. Corydon St., Bradford.
