Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Each year the ECCAFV holds a number of activities and events throughout the community during the month to promote awareness and build support around the issue.

The ECCAFV will have "Stop Domestic Violence" yard signs ($5), purple ribbons (2/$1) and purple bracelets ($1) on sale at all events and meetings during October.  If you are not able to attend an event or meeting but would like to purchase items, please contact us.

If you would like to hang awareness posters in your workplace, school or community, download 5 of them here!
