ICYMI: August 2019

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." -- John 10:10

In case you missed it, this August, we featured our Victim Justice Program (VJP), exploring the hardships faced by many of our clients and the provisions in place to help them achieve safety and stability.

On the blog, we started the month with a moving message from VJP Staff Attorney Annie Anderson called, “There Is Room At The Table.” We also learned a little more about the aspirations and achievements of our summer interns, and we introduced you to three amazing staff members in our VJP.

In celebration of 25 years of service to the community, we also invite you to our capstone event, the Justice for All Gala, on October 3rd.

We also welcome returning special guest, the ever-gregarious Bob Goff--New York Times bestselling author, humanitarian, and founder of Love Does.
