Child Advocates of Nevada County

Child Advocates of Nevada County had an amazing time at National Night Out last night! It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with families, community partners, and everyone who came out to celebrate what makes our community so special.

One of the highlights of the evening was watching our Executive Director, Nicole, create balloon animals for kids, bringing lots of smiles and laughter throughout the event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hello, learn more about our mission, and spend time with us.
