Join us for Stand up for Shalom Bayit (peace in the home) on Sunday, October 6th to take action for Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

When: 10/6/2013 from 10:30am to 2pm
Where: UJA Federation of NY- 130 East 59th Street
Who: Volunteers must be 18+, groups and individuals welcome. 75 participant max.
What: Met Council for Jewish Social Action Month and for our 40 for 40 initiative, will bring together young professionals (20's-30's) of various backgrounds for a day of service to support victims of domestic violence (DV) through education and awareness. This will be a great opportunity to network with like-minded individuals while making an impact on the community.

The day's activities will include:

• An interactive workshop lead by our Family Violence staff to educate volunteers and debunk the myths of DV
• Hearing a firsthand account from a Met Council client affected by DV
• Assembling DV info kits on where individuals can get help
• Creating purple DV awareness ribbons for canvassing
• Hitting the streets to hand out the items you've created and spreading awareness

A light breakfast and coffee will be served- dietary laws observed.
