PURPLE RIBBONS

For Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, purple ribbons were placed at town welcome signs, including Dover-Foxcroft’s on Route 15, throughout Piscataquis and Penobscot counties. Photo courtesy of Spruce Run-Womancare Alliance Officials with the Spruce Run-Womancare Alliance, a community-based organization working to end domestic violence, hope those driving by will see the ribbons and reflect on the issue of domestic violence and/or the ribbons will start a related conversation.
