Mayor Janice S. Mironov, Council Members, police officers, Womanspace representatives and members of the East Windsor Domestic Violence Victim Response Team participated with residents in the Township Womanspace “Communities of Light” event at the East Windsor Municipal Building on December 8. The purpose of “Communities of Light” is to raise funds and public awareness of domestic violence and services available to victims. Participants purchased luminary kits at Fulton Bank and joined together at the Municipal Building to light candles around the entire perimeter and walkways of the Municipal Building.

Mayor Mironov stated, “Communities of Light provides a creative means of joining together to help bring attention to and raise awareness of the sensitive issue of domestic violence present in communities throughout our state and across our nation.” Mayor Mironov added, “The event also alerts the public to the important work of groups such as Womanspace and our own Domestic Violence Victim Response Team which are key in providing support and resources for victims and their families.”

Communities of Light, benefiting victims of domestic violence, is sponsored by Womanspace, the lead non-profit organization in Mercer County that provides crisis intervention and support for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The mission of Womanspace is to provide a comprehensive array of services to individuals impacted by domestic violence and dedicated to improving the quality of life for women and their families.
