Help light up the community with Womanspace for our 19th Annual Communities of Light™ 

December 7, 2020

Link up – Illuminate- Light

In the early December winter, Communities of Light™ (COL) candles line the streets of central New Jersey – a powerful symbol of hope for men, women and children impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in our community. Communities of Light raises awareness of the services available to help those victims in Mercer County. The candles come from luminary kits which help spread our important message that Peace Begins at Home.

We’re excited to announce that Paula Sollami Covello, Esq., County Clerk of Mercer County, will serve as our 19th Annual Communities of Light™ Peace Begins At Home Honorary Chair. Paula has served as the Co-chair of Communities of Light and as coordinator of municipalities for many years.

The Communities of Light campaign occurs every October in recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness month. In light of COVID-19, this year’s campaign will be modified for the health and safety of the community. We encourage businesses, neighborhoods, and community organizations to purchase luminary kits, raise awareness of Womanspace’s services, and spread the message that “Peace Begins at Home.”

The campaign concludes with a countywide luminary lighting on December 7, which serves as a powerful symbol of hope for those impacted by domestic and sexual violence in Mercer County.
