The Whiteside County Bar Association offered its support to the April House Children’s Advocacy Center through a $1,000 donation.

The donation was presented by WCBA President Ryan Olson, Vice President Mitchel Johnston, Secretary Maverik Good and attorney Trent Bush.

April House, in Morrison, plays a vital role in the community. Its mission is simple yet powerful: to make sure children who have suffered abuse are heard, protected and given a path toward justice and healing.

April House’s professional staff provide a safe, child-centered environment where young survivors can receive support from medical professionals, law enforcement, mental health providers, prosecutors, child protective services, victim advocates and other dedicated experts.

The Whiteside County Bar Association said it is grateful for the work April House does with its various community partners to bring justice to abused children and to offer compassionate resources for them and their families.
