Lighting the way to peace!

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), AWARE will be hosting a “Lighting the Way to Peace” Campaign. Lighting the Way involves homes, businesses, agencies, and churches choosing to display purple-lighted elements (such as candles & lanterns) in their windows. These small symbols are a type of code- they let survivors know that YOU value their peace and safety, and that your home or business is a safe place for all survivors.
We invite you to be an ally this October with AWARE. Join our staff & supporters at the shelter on October 1st at 6pm to create our own purple light. You can even make one for a friend! We’ll also be distributing lights for First Friday to downtown businesses that want to display our symbols of hope and unity for all to see.
Contact Mandi at mandij@awareak.org with questions.
