Houston Restaurants Join Thread Alliance To Help End Child Abuse
Mayor Annise Parker proclaimed April 2, 2015 as The Thread Alliance Day in Houston. The proclamation recognized The Thread Alliance’s efforts to bring child abuse awareness to the forefront. Sheila Aron is the founder of the organization and declares “that all children deserve unconditional love and a childhood free of abuse.” It’s The Thread Alliance’s mission to provide resources to prevent the cycle of child abuse.
April is also National Child Abuse Prevention Month. During the month of April many of Houston’s finest restaurants will be participating in the Thread Alliance annual “Blue Plate Special.” The citywide child abuse prevention awareness campaign encourages Houstonians to weave the thread of love and end the cycle of child abuse. Each participating restaurant will donate a percentage of their “Blue Plate Special” to The Thread Alliance.
The Thread Alliance, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization founded by Sheila Aron, is dedicated to ending the cycle of child abuse. The non-profit’s mission is to bring child abuse awareness to the forefront and provide a central registry of local, state, and national resources for those seeking child abuse prevention, intervention, or treatment information and services. By increasing awareness and volunteerism through individual and community participation, The Thread Alliance strives to protect every child from cruelty and neglect and make child abuse a thing of the past.
Sheila Aron is also the author of I’m Glad I’m Me, Weaving the Thread of Love From Generation to Generation. The book is writtenwith the conviction that how messages of love are communicated between parents and children can positively shape a child’s personality, self-esteem, and – in later years – their approach to their own children.
