GREENWICH, CT – To help provide support to the YWCA Domestic Abuse Services, the Junior League of Greenwich invites Greenwich residents to join our “Merry Meals” on Sunday December 13, 2020. Proceeds from this dinner will support the YWCA Domestic Abuse Services and will provide meals to these families in need.

Sadly, domestic abuse has risen during this pandemic. The YWCA offers free, confidential help to individuals and families facing domestic violence by offering a 24/7 hotline (203) 622-0003, crisis intervention, emergency shelter, crisis intervention, a civil legal clinic and other services. If you know of someone experiencing domestic violence, don’t be silent. Be supportive and offer to call the hotline with them. Your support may make a difference.
