Mayor Janice S. Mironov, Council Members, police officers 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 9. 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 perimeter of the Municipal Building.

Mayor Mironov stated, “Communities of Light is an important and effective annual public awareness campaign and fundraiser designed to bring together communities to focus a spotlight on the subject of domestic abuse.” Regretfully, domestic violence is an issue which exists in communities throughout our state and across our nation, and it is important that abuse victims know there are available support and resources to assist them.” Mayor Mironov added, “We further recognize and express appreciation for the special and invaluable contributions of Womanspace in providing education and support for abuse 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.
