On Monday, December 2, thousands of candles illuminated the homes, businesses, and streets of Mercer County. Our collective light not only lit up the night but demonstrated our community’s commitment to safety, healing, and hope for victim-survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Thanks to your support, Communities of Light was a tremendous success. Through the hard work and dedication of retailers, community coordinators, staff, and volunteers, we lit over 6,000 candles in solidarity with victim-survivors. Each flame represented resilience, courage, and the unwavering strength of our community.
In partnership with municipal governments, businesses, and police departments, Younity held lightings across Mercer County. Thank you to the volunteers, staff, and community partners who made these lightings a success! Check out photos from the events here.
Not only did Communities of Light successfully raise awareness of the devastating impact of domestic violence and sexual assault, but it also successfully raised over $25,000 to further support our mission and our services to over 10,000 members of our community each year.
We’d like to take a moment to thank all of the local companies and individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to violence-free homes, schools, and communities as COL sponsors. A special thank you goes out to our Starlight and Illuminate level sponsors.
