The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity employees planted a pinwheel garden today to raise awareness of child abuse prevention efforts around the state. Every April, in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, Pinwheels for Prevention events, sponsored by the Department of Children and Families and The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida, are held across the state.
Cissy Proctor, DEO Executive Director, said, “Our employees are committed to supporting Florida families as they raise children to be successful, happy and healthy. At DEO, we work every day to strengthen Florida’s families by helping them get  good jobs that provide for their children and support their dreams and goals. As our communities continue to support happy, healthy children, our state will continue to grow and succeed.
