April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

Throughout April

This April, with community support, we are collecting a family necessity - Diapers! We have multiple locations throughout Central Oregon that are collecting diapers (size 4, 5, 6), wipes, pullups, and more.
These tours show community members what it takes to prevent child abuse in Central Oregon. Come and learn how MountainStar decreases the risk of abuse in families by 70% in just six months, why we focus on babies and toddlers, and how you can help!
