Thankful for Community Support for This Year’s Purple Ribbon Sale!
Visitors to local SavOn convenience stores this October were greeted by walls adorned colorfully with hundreds of purple awareness ribbons! These paper ribbons were sold to help promote awareness during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On behalf of our
agencies and the thousands of survivors we serve in central New York, we thank the community, the Oneida Indian Nation, and SavOn employees for your participation in the second annual 2017 Purple Ribbon campaign! This amazing show of support is
incredible. This only reinforces the fact that by working together we can build healthier, violence-free communities.
This was only our second year of Purple Ribbon sales, but we are so pleased to share that the sale surpassed our hopes this year. Thanks to our partners’ invaluable time and effort, $4,197.00 was raised from donations and ribbons that were sold! All proceeds benefit the local domestic violence programs offered by both YWCA Mohawk Valley and Liberty Resources Help Restore Hope Center. These life-changing, life-saving services help families right here in our central New York communities and are vital to ending the cycle of domestic violence. We sincerely thank all of the participants for their belief in
our work, their generosity, and commitment.
Domestic violence services are free and confidential, available by county-area. For information on YWCA Mohawk Valley, which serves Oneida County please call 315.797.7740.
