On October 4, half the offering will be donated to the Domestic Violence Roundtable. The Roundtable is a community-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting safe and healthy relationships, raising public awareness about abusive and controlling behaviors – whether exhibited through bullying, teen dating violence, domestic violence, or elder abuse – and ending relationship violence in all its forms. The organization pursues these goals by educating communities, supporting agencies that provide services to survivors of abuse, networking with other concerned community groups, and mobilizing community leaders.
First Parish shares its offering with one social justice organization twice each month, or two organizations once each. This ensures that everyone has the opportunity to generously support these vital community organizations and causes.
