Some volunteers give their time. Others give their hearts.

This year, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) recognized Dayton resident Cyndie Abshire for doing both, naming her a 2026 Outstanding Volunteer during Volunteer Appreciation Week.

On April 20, Cyndie received the agency's "Biggest Heart Award," an honor that reflects the compassion, generosity, and unwavering commitment she brings to serving children, families, and vulnerable adults. Through countless acts of kindness and service, she has become a trusted and valued part of the DFPS community.

DFPS works to strengthen families and communities while ensuring the safety and well-being of those most in need. Volunteers like Cyndie help bring that mission to life, offering encouragement, support, and hope where it matters most.

Her impact extends far beyond the hours she volunteers. Through her caring spirit and servant's heart, Cyndie continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and in the community she proudly calls home.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Thank you David Meadows & the maintenance staff for hanging our sign at the courthouse.

Children often suffer abuse and neglect in silence, too young or scared to speak up. Learn the signs: changes in behavior, appearance, or mood could signal danger. For more info, visit DFPS – Recognize the Signs of Child Abuse. Child abuse isn't always easy to spot. If you notice something is off, don't hesitate to speak up to protect a child in need.
