The Erlene Sigmon Fund is named for the late Erlene Sigmon. Following her tragic death in 1990, Mrs. Sigmon’s family and the Children’s Protection Council started the “Erlene Sigmon Fund” to honor this long-time volunteer. This Fund is supervised by a Catawba County DSS Intake Specialist and enables child protective workers to respond to such emergencies as special medication for children, clothing, dental care, etc. that have no other source of funding.
The CAPC is a non-profit organization that works to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse and serious physical abuse. It coordinates the efforts of Catawba County Social Services, law enforcement, and the District Attorney’s office.
