October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

In honor of the victims who have lost their lives to domestic violence, the city of Worcester has named Wednesday, October 16 as “Wear Purple Day”.

Because RCAP Solutions is committed to supporting and providing resources to families who have suffered from domestic violence, RCAP Staff chose to wear purple today in recognition of this event.

Domestic violence affects all of us. Click here to learn more about the scary statistics about this issue.

How you can help out: 

RCAP Solutions encourages you to support the YWCA Domestic Violence Programs. Visit purplepurse.com and register purse code 01144, which will automatically donate $5 to the YWCA of Central Mass from the Allstate Foundation. With this campaign, the WYCA of Central MA has the opportunity to raise $10,000 to support domestic violence programs. http://www.ywcacentralmass.org/domestic-violence

RCAP Solutions offers assistance to help families in crisis, those going off public assistance, or supportive services for those fleeing domestic violence.  This may include homelessness prevention counseling, financial literacy counseling, housing assistance and other supportive services.
