Mayor Janice Mironov and Council Members announced East Windsor Township’s participation in Younity (formerly Womanspace) October 27 “Communities of Light”, encouraging residents and local groups to join in and support this event, geared to raise funds and awareness of domestic violence and services available to victims.  The event will be taking place at the East Windsor Township Municipal Building on Monday, October 27 at 5 PM.

Mayor Mironov called on all residents and businesses to participate by purchasing candles and gathering to help light up the East Windsor Municipal Building.  Citizens can participate by purchasing luminary kits, containing six candles each, for $10 at any time at the Police/Municipal Court Building (80 One Mile Road) and bringing luminary kits to the event.  All proceeds will go 100% directly to Younity, the primary Mercer County organization providing a comprehensive array of services to individuals affected by domestic violence and dedicated to improving the quality of life of abuse victims and their families.  For further information, call (609) 448-5678, ext. 232.

Mayor Mironov stated, “We hope that our participation will help focus public attention on the important subject of domestic violence and to encourage residents to become more aware of support efforts available to victims and families.  As a community, we wish to express our strong support for Womanspace and to recognize the important assistance they provide to victims of domestic violence.”  She added, “the lighting of luminaries is a unique means of increasing local awareness of the ongoing presence of domestic violence in all of our communities and to serve as a symbol of hope for all those who struggle with violence in their homes.”
