Kalamazoo County Child Abuse and Neglect Council is our charity for Marmalade Dog 15.

Founded in 1976, the CAN Council is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect in Kalamazoo County. They are not a government agency, but work closely with a wide range of public and private organizations throughout the year.

The CAN Council teaches children how to be safe and when to ask for help. They teach parents how to spot the danger signs. They also provide specialized training for teachers, nurses and police so they can identify child abuse and report it quickly.
