In the month of October, visitors to Madison and Oneida County Sav-On convenience stores were greeted by\u00a0purple ribbons hung with care. Friendly Sav-On employees enthusiastically asked \u201cwould you like to consider\u00a0purchasing a purple ribbon for awareness during domestic violence awareness month?\u201d<\/p>\n

On behalf of our agencies and the thousands we serve in central New York, we thank the community and the\u00a0Oneida Indian Nation, for your participation in the 2016 Purple Ribbon campaign.\u00a0This was our first year of collaboration on the campaign. Our collective effort only reinforces the fact that by\u00a0working together we can build healthier, violence-free communities. Together, we could expand the message\u00a0that there is no place for abuse in our homes, schools, or neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Thanks to your partnership, invaluable time, and effort, $2,899.00 was raised from donations and ribbons that were sold! All proceeds from the Purple Ribbon campaign benefit the domestic violence programs offered by\u00a0YWCA Mohawk Valley and Liberty Resources. These life-changing, life-saving services help families right\u00a0here in our central New York communities and are vital to ending the cycle of domestic violence.<\/p>\n

We thank you for your belief in our work, your generosity, and commitment.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,\u00a0Dianne Stancato,\u00a0Executive Director\/CEO,\u00a0YWCA Mohawk Valley; and Sara Haag, MSW,\u00a0Divisional Director, Family Services, Liberty Resources, Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
