DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACTION MONTH
Paint the Town Purple!
October is Domestic Violence ACTION Month (often abbreviated
as DVAM), and the CARE Program has a lot of activities planned
to raise awareness of domestic violence within our community,
break the silence, and continue the conversation to bring an
END domestic violence here and everywhere.
Throughout the month we will have purple lights and ribbons displayed in
businesses and other buildings throughout Siletz. We also ask the community
members to wear purple ribbons on their shirts and display purple ribbons on
their cars. If you run into someone who asks about the ribbon, take that
opportunity to spread the word about domestic violence awareness and help
break the silence around talking about it.
On Friday, October 10th the Siletz Valley Schools football team will be sporting
purple socks during their home game to show support for DVAM. Community
members are encouraged to come out and show their
support for the team — anyone wearing purple will be
entered into a raffle! The CARE Program will also be handing
out fun goodies and sharing information about DVAM.
We also have a Thirty-One fundraiser and a family BINGO
night, along with other fun activities throughout the month.
“Like” the Siletz CARE Program on Facebook to find out about
all of our different events and see facts and trivia about
domestic violence.
