Private donations are, and can be, designated for this Fund, which has no administrative costs. This team has been assembled by the Task Force to develop a Community Plan, an Annual Report Card, and the means to coordinate, enhance, and establish services needed for the prevention of child abuse in Washoe County . Our annual Awards Night in October is a 10-year tradition honoring excellence in prevention services. We provide monies and personnel for the annual Stand For Children event , the Smith's Immunization and Children's Fair, etc. We also maintain and audio-visual library with resource materials for the public.
Books are available in both English and Spanish.
Additionally, hundreds of nationally-recognized pamphlets are provided to anyone and any group who requests information on the many topics surrounding child protection. These, too, are available in both languages. Additionally, the Task Force, in the past, has provided scholarship awards to young adults who have been in foster care. More info to come.
