DECK OUT IN PURPLE: ‘Walk The Mile’ on Oct. 4

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and several local agencies have come together to shine a spotlight on the need to support those who survive, escape from and transition away from such traumatic experience.

Cindi Holder and the Kendall County Women’s Shelter have joined forces with the Kendall County District Attorney’s Victim Services Division, Hill Country Family Services and Transformation House to sponsor “Walk The Mile” on Oct. 4, to help raise awareness for survivors of domestic violence.

“There’s no discriminating when it comes to domestic violence. It can occur anywhere, to anyone,” Holder said. “More than half the time, we hear, ‘I never expected to be in this situation.’”
