October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please join HAVEN and the Wasco County Domestic Violence Council for " An Evening of Light" candlelight vigil.
In August of 2022, Washington Gorge Action Programs (WAGAP) opened a new shelter in Klickitat County, providing temporary safe housing to those fleeing domestic violence. Managed by the team at Programs for Peaceful Living (PFPL), it was dubbed “Gina’s Place” in honor of State Representative Gina Mosbrucker, who championed the effort to bring Capital Funding to a County that had been without a domestic violence shelter for over two decades.
HAVEN and Wasco County Domestic Violence Council will gather with community partners to host “An Evening of Light” to honor survivors of domestic violence with a candlelight vigil on Tuesday, October 19th, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. The event will be virtual this year due to the pandemic.
