Today we honor the lives of those taken too soon, stand with the families and loved ones left behind, and reaffirm our commitment to supporting victims of homicide loss. We remember. We reflect. We stand together.

As we gather in remembrance, please save the date for our 2026 Angel Tree Ceremony on December 7, 2026, a special evening dedicated to remembering and honoring loved ones who have been lost to violence. Learn more at https://victimassistanceprogram.org/angel-tree-ceremony/

What a special reunion! Our Supervisor of Advocacy – Domestic Relations Court, Jessie, had the sweetest surprise when Gracie returned to the courthouse, nearly five years after Jessie fostered her!

We’re so happy to see Gracie back in Jessie’s life and excited for all the comfort she’ll bring to children and families at the courthouse.
