Our team 🧡💚 was honored to support Branches Domestic Violence Shelter 💜 by attending their BBQ🍴 recently. We appreciated the chance to connect, network, and stand alongside an organization doing critical work for survivors and families.

Branches 💜 educates, advocates, empowers, and enacts change by providing inclusive lifesaving services to those affected by domestic violence and human trafficking.

Currently they have two operational emergency housing shelters and three outreach offices located in adjoining counties; Mason, Putnam, Wayne, & Lincoln, to provide additional resources. The second operational emergency shelter is located in Putnam County. ALL of Branches’ 💜 services are free of charge.

Events like this remind us how important it is to show up, build partnerships, and strengthen our community together.
