This weekend, our board members showed what true leadership looks like—by rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. With safety and security top of mind, they put in some serious manual labor at Bernard House, proving they’re not afraid to get their hands dirty for a cause that matters.

Thank you for your sweat equity and your unwavering commitment to the life of a survivor. Your actions speak volumes.

Thank You for Supporting the 2025 Hope & Hops Benefit Party for a Cause

Domestic violence thrives in silence. It's time to raise our voices.

We must continue the conversation—not just during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but every day. By speaking out, we empower others to stand up, seek help, and become part of the solution.

Together, we can break the silence. Together, we can make a difference.
