WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (May 10, 2026) — Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced today that her office raised $2,901 last month through her Pinwheel Garden initiative.
The Pinwheel Garden was installed in early April at the courthouse in honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The proceeds, along with 15 large bags of new and gently used clothing, were donated Monday to the Sharing Shelf of Port Chester.
Supporting Children in Need
The Sharing Shelf works to combat clothing insecurity by offering basic material needs to low-income families in Westchester.
“For children who lack basic necessities, life can be a constant struggle, one that impacts every facet of their social, psychological and educational development,” DA Cacace said. “Children aren’t responsible for providing their own material needs, but we all bear responsibility when they go without. I hope that with this donation, we can help make life a bit easier for families in Westchester who just need a little support from their neighbors.”
