Bridgewater Woman’s Club Raises Child Abuse Awareness

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Members of the Bridgewater Woman's Club have once again placed a pinwheel garden in the Municipal Plaza area at 100 Commons Way during the month of April.

The garden supports Prevent Child Abuse - NJ's (PCA-NJ) Pinwheels for Prevention Campaign. PCA-NJ reports that in New Jersey, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will fall victim to child sexual abuse before the age of 18.

In an ongoing effort to raise awareness of the important issue of child abuse and to promote the safety, health and well-being of children in the community, Club members are proud to work alongside Mayor Matthew Moench.

The Mayor and Council issued a proclamation designating April 2023 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Bridgewater.

The mayor read and presented the proclamation to several Club members at the Council meeting on March 30.

The Bridgewater Woman's Club is a service organization that strives to support families, women, and children in our local community and is a member of the GFWC and the NJSFWC.
