🚨 CAUGHT RED-HEELED! 👠🚔

The Woodstock Police Force is stepping up for Walk A Mile and we have the evidence to prove it! 😂

A huge shoutout to these officers for being great sports, putting on the red heels, and standing with Sanctuary House in support of women and children impacted by gender-based violence.

October 3rd is coming. Consider this your official warning. 😉

We want YOU on the starting line!

Our friends at Thomas Hyundai are getting ready to walk in our upcoming Walk A Mile In Her Shoes event taking place on October 3.

We love seeing local businesses put their best foot forward and stand alongside Sanctuary House in raising awareness about intimate partner violence.

A huge thank you to the Thomas Hyundai crew for helping us drive this important message forward. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!

They’re stepping up. Will you?

There’s an old saying: “You can’t truly understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.”

When you take part in Walk a Mile, every step makes a difference.

You walk to raise awareness about gender-based violence and help bring an often hidden issue into the open.

You walk to stand in solidarity with survivors and remind them that they are not alone.

You walk to help fund essential services for women and children impacted by violence including counselling, therapeutic play, prevention programs, wellness spaces, and community support.

On October 3, Sanctuary House invites people throughout the River Valley to step into a pair of red heels and walk in solidarity with women and children affected by gender-based violence. The heels may capture attention, but the message is serious: ending violence takes all of us.

Join us as we listen, learn, raise awareness, and take a stand for safer communities. Register, collect pledges, and walk with us—because no one should have to walk through violence alone.

🚒👠 Our first responders are stepping up for Walk a Mile!

A huge shoutout to the Woodstock Fire Department for joining in the fun and showing their support for this year’s Walk a Mile in Their Shoes! We have to admit… bunker gear and red heels make quite the combination. 😂🔥👠

And Woodstock isn’t alone!

We’re so excited to see first responders from across our communities getting behind this year’s walk. A big thank you to Centreville Fire Department, Juniper Fire Department, Florenceville-Bristol Fire Department and Florenceville-Bristol First Responders who have already stepped up to support the cause! ❤️

And we hear Bath, Glassville, Perth-Andover, Plaster Rock and Neqotkuk may want to start looking for their best pair of red heels… Margaret C. Johnson is coming for you! 😉👠

Behind all the fun is an important message: ending gender-based violence takes all of us. Seeing the men who serve and protect our communities stand alongside Sanctuary House as allies sends a powerful message of support to women and children affected by violence.

Thank you for standing with us.

"𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗳...?"

These are some of the most common questions we hear.

If you're experiencing intimate partner or family violence, you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Every situation is unique, and every conversation begins with listening.

Sometimes the first step is simply asking the question.

📞Reach out to us today. We want to help.

"𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼."

It's one of the most common concerns we hear.

If you're experiencing abuse, you don't have to have another place lined up before asking for help.

Sanctuary House provides emergency shelter and support for women and their children fleeing intimate partner violence and family violence.

When you arrive, we'll help you take the next step, whatever that looks like for you.

You don't have to know all the answers.
You don't have to have a long-term plan.
You don't even have to know whether you're ready to leave permanently.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is ask for help.

You don't have to figure it out alone.
