With each passing season, our work at the Women’s Resource Center continues as we walk together towards a future where families heal and thrive, the needs of survivors are met, and hope is realized. This year our tree represents the three colors that define our cause.
The color teal is a symbol of trust, healing, and dedication to ending sexual violence. The color purple is a symbol of peace, resilience, honor, and dedication to ending domestic violence. The color orange symbolizes the work it takes to incite safety, to build a brighter future, and to actualize a community free of violence.
