October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Families Living Violence Free in Oxford is making plans to shine a light on what often can be a dark topic.
FLVF is holding a candelight vigil on Tuesday, Oct. 17, beginning at 5:30 p.m. and Peggy Roark, FLVF’s director, invites the community to participate.
The vigil is held to honor and remember victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
The vigil will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Georgia Henrahand Cottage on the campus of Central Children’s Home.
A quarter auction fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 6, at The Barn at Vino in Stem, Roark said.
Each $20 tickets gets you dinner and a bidding paddle.
The doors open at 5:45 p.m. and dinner begins at 6:15 p.m. The bidding fun begins at 7 p.m., so make sure to bring those rolls of quarters!
All proceeds go to direct service for domestic violence and sexual assault victims and survivors.
There will be vendors on site at the quarter auction, so bring some “folding money,” too.
Call 919.693.3579 to purchase tickets.
