The Kings County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously designated August 2021 as Child Support Awareness Month, National Breastfeeding Month and Valley Fever Awareness Month to raise awareness and promote public education on each topic.Â
âI donât know if weâre going to have an arm wrestling event, maybe rock paper scissors to see whoâs the king of the month of August,â said Board Chairman Craig Peterson.
Child Support Awareness Month was brought forward by the Child Support Services Department. Director Marie Waite said itâs the goal of the department to provide consistent financial and medical support for children in the county.
