On the Job 

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and a group of volunteers filled boxes with stuffed animals, books, and journals to be given to abused children who seek services from the Ohio Network of Children's Advocacy Centers. 

More than 80 boxes of items were donated by attendees of the Attorney General's Two Days in May Conference on Victim Assistance and area businesses.  Thirty-one advocacy centers will receive the donations.

During the conference, DeWine met with representatives of several of the advocacy centers receiving the donations to thank them for the work they do to protect Ohio's children.

“Advocacy centers like these are critical in supporting children who have been traumatized by crime, and I hope that these donations can provide some comfort to children who need these services,” DeWine said.  “I am thankful to everyone who donated today, because small gestures like this can make a big difference in the life of a child.”

Barnes & Noble; Half Price Books; Target; T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods; and Walmart contributed items for the cause.
