October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic violence thrives when we are silent; but if we take a stand and work together, we can end domestic violence. Throughout the month of October, help us to raise awareness about domestic violence and join in our efforts to end violence.  Here is what you can do:

Donate or Volunteer

• Make a donation to Safe Haven in honor of the people in your life who have been impacted by domestic violence.
• Volunteer your time with Safe Haven.  We are in need of volunteers with skills ranging from changing lightbulbs and painting to gardening and sorting donations!

Join the National Week of Action

• Participate in 2016's National Week of Action from October 16 through 22, 2016!

Wear Purple

• Wear purple -- the color of Domestic Violence Awareness Month -- during the month of October and use this as a way to tell others why ending domestic violence is important to you.
• National #PurpleThursday is October 20, 2016.
