Small Talk Children's Advocacy Center

12/12/2025

‼️Urgent‼️Small Talk Children’s Advocacy Center was recently notified that the $1.5 million community enhancement grant awarded to us was cancelled as part of the $645 million in cuts made by the Michigan House budget committee. This decision will have immediate and harmful consequences for child victims of abuse in Ingham and Eaton Counties.

At this critical moment, we need your support. You can help in the following ways:

1. Make a donation to Small Talk to help us maintain our services. Any support you provide goes right to the direct service of children impacted by sexual and physical abuse. Smalltalkcac.org/donate

2. Contact your legislators and share with them the importance of our work and urge them to reinstate these funds. https://www.michiganvotes.org/legislators

Thank you for your tremendous support of our mission and the children we serve. We are committed to doing everything in our power to get these funds reinstated and continue to fight for families impacted by child abuse, their justice and mental health, and a safer community for us all.

Their team puts in a lot of work to make sure our whole community is fed wholesome and tasty food. Thanks for letting us be a part of it yesterday 😊
