Hope is the belief that, regardless of present circumstances, the future is full of possibilities. At Safe+Sound Somerset, we help survivors of domestic abuse find safety, healing, and hope.
Help us further our mission and spread the word about resources available by purchasing a Candles of Hope Luminary Kit.
Display your sign throughout the month of October but be sure to light your luminaries on Wednesday, October 6th at 7pm during our annual Candles of Hope Vigil in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On this night, participants will join together in person and at home to remember victims whose lives were taken by domestic violence and to honor survivors moving beyond abuse. Help us build awareness of Safe+Sound Somerset as Somerset County’s best and only local resource for domestic abuse support.
Luminary Kits are available in two sizes:
The Yard Kit ($40) is an 18×24 standard lawn sign with a metal ground stake & 10 flameless luminaries
The Apartment Kit ($15) is a 9×12 window sign & 4 flameless luminaries
Seeing your sign may get someone to reach out for help and bring safety, healing and hope to their life!
