Annual Open House- Children’s Advocacy Center 2022
Each year we open the doors to our Children’s Advocacy Center and welcome our community partners, providers, law enforcement and legislators.
It takes all of us working together for our CAC to offer this comprehensive approach to serving child victims and their families.
This year, 24 Hour Power Inc.’s founder Susie Lordi, worked with SABURA students to create a canvas entitled “Be the Change”.
The painting was unveiled at our Children’s Advocacy Center’s Open house. The painting will be a traveling piece of art which will be displayed in various places throughout Plymouth County to inspire others to “Be the Change”.
