Walk Against Domestic Violence

Sponsored by Powhatan UMC for Hope House of Powhatan

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS INCREASING. Some sources indicate that there has been as much as an 80 percent rise in domestic violence within the past year. Additional places of refuge are needed to accommodate this rising crisis. Join us on May 8th, from 11am—12pm as we walk in our community to raise awareness of domestic violence across the country. This crisis affects many. We encourage people of all ages to participate. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Join us! Let’s walk to end Domestic Violence!

Free will donations will be appreciated and will go to Hope House of Powhatan!
