Join One Thousand Voices Against Violence

One Thousand Voices Against Violence aims to expose more than a thousand people in our community to the devastating issue of family violence and the available resources in the community. This will work by organizing a series of small, private gatherings. Transitions is asking individuals to host an event (none is too small or too large) and invite their friends, coworkers, neighbors, and family members to spend five to ten minutes discussing Transitions' mission and the problem of family violence. This short sharing opportunity can occur during dinners, cocktail parties, bowling outings, picnics, family reunions, book clubs, sewing circles, sports events, and in any other venue where people gather together.

Transitions will provide the host with free information: an informational packet, fact sheets, brochures, pocket cards, posters, purple ribbons and other materials needed to encourage discussion. The purpose of the event is educational, not fundraising. If someone would like to make a gift, that is wonderful and welcome, but not required. If you are interested in helping raise your voice against violence, please contact us at (757) 728-0025. We hope that you will join us in breaking the silence in our community.

For more information on the many ways that you and your organization can help, please contact Julia Campbell, Director of Development and Community Relations at (757) 728-0025 extension 508 or via email at jcampbell@transitionsfvs.org

Thank you for your support!
