The Alachua County Victim Services and Rape Crisis Center will host "A Day of Remembrance: Honoring Lives Lost to Violence and Survivors Who Continue the Journey of Healing" on Saturday, Dec. 13, from 10 to 11 a.m. at Squirrel Ridge Park (1603 Williston Road in Gainesville).
The event will feature local resources, light refreshments, a candle-lighting ceremony and speakers offering messages of support, healing and hope.
"As we enter the season of holiday celebration and time with family, the center is offering a space for reflection, connection and hope, where families and friends who have lost a loved one to violence, and feel their absence more deeply during the holidays, can find both understanding and supportive community," said Director Laura Kalt.
