Next Event in 2021

Be one of the 100 people who make a stand against domestic violence. We appreciate donations for this event and will have it again next year. Your contribution will help to protect those who have suffered violence at the hands of a family member. It may also prevent others from being harmed.

Now is your time to Take a Stand against domestic violence in Carteret County.  Domestic Violence is an epidemic – locally and nationally. On average, Carteret County Communications receives over 1,700 calls annually – for law enforcement assistance in domestic violence incidents. Additionally, the Carteret County Domestic Violence Program provides direct services to approximately 300 men, women, and children, each year.

In Carteret County, we need help to ‘Break the Cycle’ of abuse for children in our community. Husbands, brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and everyone who believes that domestic violence is a crime, we ask you to become a part of the solution and make a difference with a charitable donation of $100.  Donations can be made in honor and memory of a loved one or special person in your life.

Your pledge will help immediately – here’s how:

• $100 equals 4 hours of individual counseling, essential to breaking the cycle of abuse
• $100 equals 5 hours of court advocacy, providing a voice, strength and support
• $100 equals 30 days of safe shelter, to a family of two seeking safety from further abuse
