Why choose just one kind of good?

Whether you're rooting for each other or championing an Anti-Violence Social Club, you can bring both messages home and let twice the good shine through!

These suncatchers, created in partnership with Blenko Glass's Glass for Good program, are a beautiful way to celebrate the power of community while making a meaningful difference for survivors.

Fig: "Root for Each Other"

Clover: "Anti-Violence Social Club"

And here's the best part: 50% of the proceeds from every suncatcher sold benefit survivors staying at Branches Domestic Violence Shelter!

A little beauty for your windows. A little light for your space. And a whole lot of good for your community.

A huge shout out to The Junior League of Huntington for all of their support of Branches and for helping us bring awareness to domestic violence in the month of October. It was a joy to join their monthly meeting and share important resources about how to make a referral to our services.

On a very special episode of Root For Each Other, we're welcoming a survivor who is using her voice as a beacon of hope to others. Join us as she shares her story of resilience and strength and as we discuss the realities of living in and separating from a coercive controlling relationship.

We just wanted to give a HUGE shoutout to our friends at Spring Valley High School for hosting a Purple Out football game coming up this FRIDAY, October 30th! It's a huge honor that our local young people will be sharing their enthusiasm and school spirit to bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence.

A special thank-you to the Spring Valley High School administration team for helping us to coordinate this special event! Heading to the game on Friday? Don't forget to stop by the Branches table and check-in with our Wayne County advocate. We'll be there cheering them on,

GOOOOOOO, Timberwolves!!
