Domestic Violence Awareness Month continues through October and Sanctuary, Inc. is hopeful local residents will open their wallets and support victims of domestic violence in the nine-county Pennyrile region who are staying in their shelter.
Heather Lancaster is Sanctuary’s executive director and says the new Friends of Sanctuary initiative is their largest fundraising effort—replacing the annual dinner.
She says cash donations from the public help pay for services that grant funding can’t address.
Locals are also reminded that Thursday is “Purple Thursday” when residents are encouraged to wear purple to show support to victims and then send photos of themselves wearing purple to Sanctuary, Inc.
