WE’RE HAVING A BABY SHOWER! PCA-JC is ‘adopting’ 3 new ‘babies’! We plan to be the proud caregivers of three baby dolls that simulate what happens when a baby is shaken or born with prenatal drug or alcohol exposure. These babies will be part of our public education activities to prevent child abuse. To donate to the purchase and care of these babies, please click here for a printable donation form or click here to make a donation online.
