How to Support the Moms of MMC this Mother's Day

The average family in crisis is a mother with two children who stay at the Marjaree Mason Center for 34 days. At any given time, 60% of those staying in our safe house are children. At MMC, we devote a lot of our time to helping and healing families.

This Mother's Day, we humbly ask you celebrate the moms at MMC, too. Here is a list of ways you can give back to us while also celebrating the moms in your life.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Get Involved

The Marjaree Mason Center is marking the 30^th annual occurrence of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) this October with a number of events and social media campaigns you can support to get involved and break the silence surrounding domestic violence.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month was created by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and began as an occasion titled “Day of Unity” which was held in October 1981. The Day of Unity soon grew into a week and in October 1987, the first National Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed.

“Domestic violence continues to be an unspoken epidemic in our society,” said MMC Executive Director Nicole Linder. “By participating in Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are pulling back the curtain and saying abuse is never OK.”
