Virtual Candlelight Vigil
April 26th at 6:00PM on Zoom
Help us remember victims by attending Virtual Candlelight Vigil where community members around the state can light a candle, or request to light a virtual candle, in support of those that have been victimized by crime. The event will include music and stories from survivors who will share how their lives have been impacted by crime, acknowledge how it has affected their lives, and share ways in which services and support networks helped them.
