🌧️ Lakewood's holiday spirit shines bright, rain or shine!✨ The FaLaLa Lakewood toy collection parade triumphed over rainy weather last Saturday, surpassing last year's record with an impressive $82,861 in toys and donations to support our Holiday of Hope program. This generosity will bring holiday cheer to 1,600 children at DCAC impacted by abuse. What began as a small initiative in 2020 has grown into a remarkable community-wide effort. Thank you to all the dedicated volunteers who braved the rain to make this happen, proving that true community spirit can weather any storm. 📸: Liz Labianca #HolidayHope #CommunitySpirit #DallasCAC #Falalalakewood

About us
The mission of Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) is to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County and to provide national leadership on child abuse issues. DCAC coordinates the investigation and prosecution of the most severe cases of child abuse in our community. Last year DCAC served over 7,300 children (and their non-offending family members) who were sexually abused, severely physically abused, or who had witnessed a violent crime. DCAC provides a warm, child-friendly environment to help children who are referred by law enforcement or CPS. Our average client is a 9-year-old girl, sexually abused by someone she knows and trusts.
