Last year, the organization helped nearly 5,000 domestic violence survivors and their children.
The event honored several people who helped achieve the organization’s mission.
“We want to think that domestic violence is something behind closed doors and that it is a real problem,” said Jane Keiffer, executive director of the Artemis Center. “Sometimes hitters follow us to work. It really is a community problem that we as a community need to solve together.”
If you or someone you know needs help getting out of a domestic violence situation, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE).
It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
