April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. According to the American Humane Association website, www.americanhumane.org/children/stop-child-abuse, mistreatment statistics of children include:
neglect 62.8
physical abuse 16.6
sexual abuse 9.3
emotional/psychological abuse 7.1

other 14.3

IN N OUT Burger has supported the cause of child abuse prevention. Every year during National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the company initiates a fundraising effort to bring hope to children in need. They match every dollar collected in the month of April with three dollars of their own up to $250,000.
IN N OUT is actually my favorite burger fast food restaurant. In fact, my son and I went there today, to the Fisherman's Wharf location in San Francisco. While there, I actually saw them peeling and cutting potatoes for the fries. The food is really tasty!
There are three ways to donate for this cause:
In store- look for donation cans
