Last week, K9 Finn stopped by “Let’s Chalk About It” to lend a paw (and collect a few belly rubs 🐾) as our community came together in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
This annual event once again filled the sidewalks with messages of hope, encouragement, and support for survivors, while also raising awareness through important facts, statistics, and resources about domestic violence.
While the chalk may wash away, the message remains: Help is available. You are not alone💜
