ELKHART — The community came together at the Child and Parent Services (CAPS) annual gala event, Rooted in Hope, held Friday, Aug. 22, at Wellfield Botanic Gardens.
“This achievement is truly a celebration of our community,” said Rebecca Shetler Fast, CAPS CEO. “Together we have shown what hope in action looks like. This outpouring of support proves that when we stand together, we can meet the challenge.”
The gala is one of many highlights in 2025 for CAPS. This year, CAPS has celebrated the largest number of sworn in CASA volunteers in its history and displayed more than 15,000 blue pinwheels in April for Child Abuse Prevention Month, a symbol of awareness and hope across the region.
While the gala was a remarkable success, the organization said the need for prevention and response services continues to grow. CAPS encourages continued community involvement to ensure every child has the chance to grow up safe and supported.
Since 1976, Child and Parent Services (CAPS) has supported children and families in north central Indiana, working to ensure every child can grow up safe, healthy, and free from abuse and neglect.
