Domestic Violence Awareness
Helpline 1-800-924-2624

In October of every year, we raise awareness for victims and survivors of domestic violence. We host a campaign to honor those who lost their lives to domestic violence in Wisconsin. We remember those who did not survive who may not have had the support, the means or the courage they needed to leave.
Every year participating business place our purple buckets at their counters with purple ribbons to raise awareness that it happens here in our communities. We also encourage participation in the nationwide campaign of Purple Thursday. Everyone is encouraged to wear purple during a designated Thursday in the month of October to show people you are aware and that you support survivors.
