Prevent Child Abuse Iowa | #CDM2024 Nonprofit Partner

Christkindlmarket Des Moines is pleased to partner with Prevent Child Abuse Iowa as a Nonprofit Partner this year.

Prevent Child Abuse Iowa and their team of volunteers will be managing a point of sale at the Glühwein Tent on Thursday and Friday. All cash tips placed in their tip jar at their point of sale will go directly to their organization. The Iowa European Cultural Connection, the nonprofit that produces Christkindlmarket Des Moines, will also make a $500 donation as part of our partnership.

Prevent Child Abuse Iowa is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1975. We build meaningful connections, share resources, and expand knowledge to create a stronger prevention network in Iowa. PCA Iowa is dedicated to strengthening the efforts of prevention professionals and fostering a resilient environment for children and families throughout Iowa. Our commitment extends beyond immediate intervention, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and collaboration to build a sustainable foundation for the well-being of Iowa’s children and families.

Prevent Child Abuse Iowa leads toward its vision of a world free from child abuse through:

• Awareness – informing the public about the effects of child abuse and sharing resources to prevent abuse.
• Advocacy – advancing the cause of child abuse prevention among legislators, administrators, and professionals.
• Assistance – offering organizational development, program guidance and grant management to local partners.

Prevent Child Abuse Iowa believes all Iowans working together can ensure children are raised in safe, nurturing environments.
