Join the 2019 Wodonga Community Walk Against Family Violence and show that our community will not tolerate family violence.
The 2019 Community Walk Against Family Violence will be held on:
Wednesday 4 December, at 11am
The walk will start outside St Stephen’s Church, head down High St and finish with a free barbecue in Junction Place at 12pm.
Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Albury through a generous community grant, the walk is part of the City of Wodonga’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
The aim of the walk is to contribute to and generate conversation in the community about family violence, raise awareness of the work being done locally to tackle family violence and to support survivors.
Please join us and, if you can, wear orange to show your support.
