Last year in Saginaw County, 7,262 children were involved in reported cases of child abuse and neglect.  In addition, 1,140 children were confirmed abuse and/or neglected while 331 children live in “out of home care” due to abuse and neglect.  Since 1979, the CAN Council has been dedicated to stopping child abuse and neglect through prevention, intervention and advocacy programs and services.  In addition, we work to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect through special events like, “For the Children”.

Thank you agents, family and friends of Weichert Realtors -  Town and County, for donating more than 50 coats, of all sizes, to the CAN Council.  These coats have been distributed to  the CASA children.  A special THANK YOU to Dean Boivin and Alena Neal, for their continued support to create a better community for our children.
