"Seeing those purple porches, it's like there are people that are listening. There are people that care when you're going through something like this [domestic abuse], you feel really alone...It could be your next-door neighbor that needs help, and maybe just seeing that purple porch, they know it's a safe place. We need all the safe places we can have."
-Heather, a survivor of domestic abuse that received support from Harbor House
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month - for the month of October we are asking everyone to switch out their porch light(s) with purple bulbs and/or add purple outdoor lights (flood lights, string lights, etc.
By participating in the Purple Porch Project, you are showing you...
- Care about the issue of domestic violence
- Want to spread awareness of the programs and services available locally for individuals experiencing domestic violence.
- Support survivors of domestic violence
This year we are asking for a $10 donation per each Purple Porch Project Kit. Kits can be picked up at the following retail partners:
