EveryChild
Giving every child the foundation for a safe, healthy childhood is our top priority.
EveryChild, formerly known as the Child Abuse Council, is a bi-state, regional nonprofit agency that provides child abuse prevention, education, and treatment programs for children and families. Our mission is to lead community efforts to eliminate child abuse and neglect by strengthening children and families through treatment, education and prevention. You see, what happens before kindergarten matters. Zero to five is a critical period for children’s development. That’s why we focus on the earliest years in a child’s life to ensure a strong start for a healthy future. When you engage with our organization, you gain access to a wealth of resources, from educational programs and our connections in the community to our expert staff and people who can simply listen. Sharing what we know about how to give kids safe, healthy childhoods and improve lives in the long term is our passion.
The Artsy Bookworm
The Artsy Bookworm will be offering information about and a display of banned books and a handout with information on our local libraries, including whom to contact to request that a book be purchased. This is one simple way in which one can have a small activist impact. There will be a display of books on intersectionality, along with a handout to try on some thinking about intersectionality. Finally, we will have a display and donation box for our childhood literacy initiative Planting Books - Seeds 4 a Better Future, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization aiming to supply high-quality books to children at the Rock Island Academy to expand their reading opportunities.

Sunlight Yoga
Sunlight Yoga + Apothecary is a business designed to help all humans press pause. We share all aspects of the yoga tradition; movement, breathwork, meditation, and philosophy for our students so they can use the tools yoga provides to rest, de-stress, and uncover your favorite version of yourself. Our tea is an offshoot of this idea that pressing pause to do something that brings you pleasure and joy--and pouring yourself a cup of tea is the nicest way to remind yourself that your care and healing matters.
