Dining for Jackson Is Working to Aid the Center for Domestic Peace
Tuesday, November 5 at 11:30 a.m.
Last month, Dining for Jackson was scheduled to help the Center for Domestic Peace but they were inundated with calls for help from Haywood and Buncombe Counties due to the flood. Therefore, we will meet on Tuesday, November 5, and work to aid this important non-profit as they work to help not only Jackson County but Haywood and Buncombe as well. Please make every effort to come as the flood victims need our help so badly. We will meet at 11:30 in the Mission and Fellowship Center of Sylva First Baptist Church.
The services provided by the Center for Domestic Peace include 24/7 confidential access to safety planning, information and support, assistance finding a safe place to stay and access to basic needs – especially since the flooding, free and timely access to licensed therapists, and ongoing help to rebuild their lives after abuse. Their clients have access to support groups, counseling, and a drop-in resource center for supplies and other assistance. Now that western North Carolina has been hit so hard with flooding, there are an even greater number needing our help so please come.
Ending domestic violence in Jackson County is going to take more than just the efforts of this one organization. To be successful in protecting our community, everyone needs to show their support of survivors. You can do this by joining us on November 5 for Dining for Jackson. Let’s advocate for those experiencing domestic violence and help them to take control of the situation they find themselves in and provide encouragement and motivation to persevere through everything they have to face to get to a life free from violence and manipulation.
