Last Thursday, STIC hosted a Trunk or Treat and Rise was able to send our wonderful Bing B**g and Anger to help! They loved seeing all the cool costumes worn by those in our community. A big thank you to everyone who came and participated! 🎃💜

Happy Purple Thursday! 💜💜
Every third Thursday of October, it's encouraged to wear purple to show support to survivors, honor victims, and raise awareness for domestic violence! Wear your favorite shirt, socks, or even hair accessories! You can take an extra step and post a picture of your purple! You can make your own post or feel free to leave a photo in the comments!

Whether you are in a relationship with someone or not, no is a complete sentence. You are not alone and your voice can save a life. 💜‼
