Friends of the Violence Prevention Center
The Violence Prevention Center wants to broaden our base of "friends." The "friends of the VPC" are individuals who are committed to the VPC's vision, but have only limited time to give to the program. Examples: putting up posters, providing refreshments for events, helping to organize special events, grant writing/reviewing, etc., etc. All "Friends" receive monthly VPC updates via e-mail/newsletter and also State and Legislative information and decisions.
We are making a data base of VPC friends so we can involve a larger group in this crucial vocation. If you would like to receive more information, please contact us via e-mail at 'hope4u@boreal.org' or call us at 218-387-1262. Thank you for your interest in being a friend of the VPC!
Our Mission:
To serve individuals and families in Cook County affected by domestic and sexual violence and to act as a catalyst in building healthy relationships and developing a community where violence is not tolerated.
