Brightly colored pinwheels decorate the front lawn of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Smith County, showing support of Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month.
Pinwheels are the national symbol for child abuse awareness and prevention, so by making a garden of them in front of the advocacy center, people who drive by will hopefully ask, "I wonder what's going on there?" said Emily Taylor, communications manager.
“We love that our staff gets to come together and just take a moment to stop and remember why we do what we do, why it's so important and how we can stand in the gap for these kids and make sure even the smallest voice in our community is heard,” Taylor said. “That's what’s most important to us.”
