COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence can happen to anyone, and it is present in every community, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, socioeconomic status, religion or nationality. The Naomi Davis Shelterhouse provides a safe haven as well as advocacy and support services for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault and their dependent children.
In observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Branch County Association of REALTORS® requested their members to donate blankets, toiletries or cash donations to the Branch County Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence.
BCAR member Steve Franks answered the call with a $1,000 cash donation. He then followed up with a pledge from State Farm Insurance to match his donation!
If you are a victim of Domestic or Sexual Violence and need help, the Branch County Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 517-278-SAFE (7233).
