Just a reminder that its not the fault of the survivor that they were assaulted. The fault lies solely with the person committing the act.

National Night Out 2021 Postponed to October
Community Concerns Regarding COVID Prompts Change (Posted 8 4 2021)

Because of concerns regarding an sharp increase in COVID-19 cases and concerns about exposure and the Delta Variant, City leadership and event organizers have moved Jacksonville’s National Night Out to Tuesday, October 5, 2021.

“We were contacted by leadership at Onslow Memorial Hospital this morning regarding the National Night Out event” stated Chief Mike Yaniero. “They requested that we consider postponing because of concerns for community contact and exposure to the Delta variant. Out of an abundance of caution and concerns regarding the safety of those attending, exhibiting and working the event, a decision was made to move the event to October 5, 2021.

“We will work to make entertainment, fireworks and other planned activities will remain the same, but will take place in early October. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience about these changes” said Lt. Chris Funcke, Jacksonville’s NNO Chairman.

The City of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Police Department will host National Night Out 2021 on Tuesday, October 5, 2021 at the Riverwalk Crossing Park in downtown Jacksonville starting at 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM.

If you don't feel respected by your partner, you could be in an abusive relationship. One of the first warning signs of domestic violence is someone not listening to what you want and/or not following boundaries you set.
Give our helpline a call and speak to an advocate if you feel disrespected, not valued, or scared. We're here for you at 910-347-4000.

Did you know there are 5 body safety rules that every child should know by the time they are 5 years old??
These rules help kids stay safe during childhood but also help them set boundaries in relationships as they grow older, which lowers their risk of being in an abusive relationship. #onslowwomenscenter #loveshouldnthurt
