The first Safety, Justice, Healing Community Awareness Event, presented by St. Timothy’s, First Presbyterian and Grace Churches of Perrysburg along with Huntington National Bank, in partnership with The Cocoon, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, from noon until 2 p.m. at Woodlands Park, Perrysburg.
The event will provide attendees with a myriad of family-friendly activities, live music by Herbie and the Love Bugs, a lunch of a hamburger or hot dog with a side of chips and a bottled water for a $5 cash donation to support survivors, as well as complimentary ice cream treats handed out by Huntington National Bank (while supplies last).
There is no charge to attend the event and enjoy the music and activities.
This event is an opportunity for community members to learn about The Cocoon’s programs and services while enjoying an afternoon at the park.
The Cocoon is Wood County’s only domestic and sexual violence agency serving survivors in all corners of our county. The Cocoon serves more than 550 survivors and their families annually, with approximately 10 percent of those survivors utilizing our emergency shelter.
The remaining survivors are working and living within our communities and receive 24/7 crisis support, medical and legal advocacy, economic empowerment, and much more.
With the support of organizations and individuals within our community, all services are provided to survivors throughout their lifespan at no cost to them.
Additional support for this event is being provided by Ace Hardware of Bowling Green, Costco, Churchill’s Supermarket, and Meijer.
