Our 5th Anniversary Celebration!

On May 28th, we hosted a party to celebrate our 5th anniversary and the opening of our new location! We were reunited with so many faces that we haven’t been able to see these past two years. It was wonderful to finally be able to gather again and catch up with one another. 

Touring people through the space—from the hallway that displays survivors’ banners, to the spacious community room, to the soon-to-be peer reentry space that will house a community closet, laundry room and computer lab–was our way of showcasing all the support we’ve received these last 5 years. It is only through our wonderful and dedicated community that we have had the privilege of celebrating this milestone as the first and only center in the United States dedicated to survivors of domestic torture.

We want to give a special thanks to those that made this celebration especially unforgettable: our friends at the Old Town School of Music who gave West African drumming workshops as people entered, Shapearl Faulkner-Wells of Celebration By Us who provided the delicious food, and DJ Shawn Whirl for making sure to keep our spirits high and feet moving.
