✨ Together, We Take Back the Night ✨

Last night, our team and community came together at our Hickory Hills office for Take Back the Night—an evening of hope, courage, and connection. 💜

As we close out Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we’re filled with gratitude for every survivor, advocate, and supporter who joined us throughout October. Your presence, your voices, and your compassion remind us that healing is possible—and that no one has to face violence alone.

At Pillars Community Health, our work continues every day of the year. Together, we build safety, resilience, and a future free from violence.

📞 If you or someone you know needs support, call our 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline at 708-485-5254.
