April marks National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time focused on raising awareness, supporting families, and encouraging communities to take action to protect children. In recognition of the effort, the Chattooga County Department of Family and Children’s Services hosted a pinwheel planting ceremony at Dowdy Park on March 31.
Energy assistance is available now in Chattooga County through the federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), with applications currently open for priority households and wider sign-ups set to begin right after New Year’s.
