First Step Victim Services has been providing services to crime victims for over 25 years. 
Join us at one or both evening events as we remember those lost to domestic violence, celebrate survivors, and educate ourselves on the realities. We will hear a survivor’s story and light luminaries to honor those impacted by domestic violence. We will also have resource information available. Both events will be held outside.
