💜Be Strong. Be Confident. Be the Difference.

A huge thank you to C.R. Ink Tattoo for standing with survivors during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Their generosity is shining this October—offering piercing and tattoo specials, donation stickers, and giving 20% of proceeds to True North of Columbia. These funds directly support survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, human trafficking, and stalking, helping them find safety, healing, and hope.

As C.R. Ink so powerfully shared, abuse can silence voices and diminish confidence—but together, we can help survivors Be seen, Be heard, and Be strong again. 💜

We are deeply grateful to C.R. Ink for using their art to raise awareness and inspire change in our community.

💜 Men as Allies Campaign 🩵

We are SO close to reaching our goal—just $39,000 left by 9/30 to raise $125,000! Together, we can make it happen.

Today we’re sharing a powerful message from Nathan “Shags” McLeod of KCMQ, who explains why he chose to be an ally, how he learned about True North, and why men showing up for survivors matters. His story is a reminder that change starts with each of us.

💜 $1,000 = One Week of 24-Hour Services
🩵 $500 = One Week of Emergency Shelter for a Family
💜 $250 = One Week of Groceries for Residents
🩵 $100 = Home Lock Replacement to Increase Victim Safety

✨ Here’s the best part: Gifts of $100 or more may qualify for a 70% Missouri tax credit. That means your generosity goes even further—making twice the impact for survivors.
💜 Be the difference.
🩵 Be the ally.
💜 Be the reason survivors have hope.

This morning’s Chamber Quarterly Membership Breakfast was full of energy and inspiration! President Choi and Chief Schlude shared powerful updates on the exciting things happening in Columbia and the areas where we can continue to grow stronger together.

We are honored that True North of Columbia was announced as a finalist for Nonprofit of the Year! Being recognized alongside so many organizations doing meaningful work in our community is truly humbling.

A special shout out to Zimmer Communications and KCMQ for highlighting the upcoming Request-a-Thon benefiting True North. We’re so grateful for their partnership in raising awareness and support for survivors.

Together, we’re building a safer, stronger Columbia. 💜💜
