Candlelight Vigil Honoring Survivors and their Families

Each October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, SAFE (Southeast Advocates for Family Empowerment) brings the community together to remember lives lost, celebrate survivors, and take action to end domestic violence.

This year’s event, Voices of Hope: Honoring Survivors, Illuminating Change, is more than a ceremony—it’s a powerful movement rooted in healing, justice, and community strength.

The event will feature:
🕯️ A candlelight vigil and walk of remembrance
🎤 Survivor stories and guest speakers
📖 A proclamation reading by local leaders
🙏 A prayer for healing and hope
🎁 A silent auction supporting survivor services
🎪 Community resource tables, vendors, and more
