As we tallied up the checks, we were simply blown away by the total...$3,500! That's how much our Baby Art Calendars helped raise for Victim Support Services. VSS provides counseling and shelter for Northeast Missouri victims of violence and abuse, primarily women and children.
"We want the the Baby Art Calendar to bring people joy, but we also wanted to raise awareness about the hidden crime of child abuse and neglect," said Hector Contreras, Studio 1004 owner and photographer.
The Baby Art Calendar project was a collaboration between Studio 1004
Modern Photography and Northeast Regional Medical Center (NRMC). The calendar was created to celebrate the hospital's newly renovated OB/Nursery Unit.
"What we loved about this project was that it made people realize VSS doesn't just provide services for adults but also children. We are so humbled by the donation," said Kim LeBaron, VSS Executive Director.
