Special EVENTS

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which was launched in 1981, by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, as a Day of Unity to connect battered women’s advocates across the country.

Domestic violence affects millions, both women and men, of every race, religion, culture and status. It’s not just punches and black eyes -- it’s yelling, humiliation, stalking, manipulation, coercion, threats and isolation. It’s stealing a paycheck, keeping tabs online, non-stop texting, constant use of the silent treatment, or calling someone stupid so often they believe it.

Every October, we rededicate ourselves to breaking the cycle. Join us for this moving, bolstering acknowledgement of those who have died and those who have survived the scourge of domestic violence. Download the flyer below.

This fun, annual collaboration between Maple Street Church and All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore takes place the Saturday before Halloween, and it's a wholesome  opportunity to parade through town with your beloved animal friends and see how your costumed pet pals measure up to others, during the audacious Costume Contest. Neat prizes and ribbons for contestants. This is a can't miss event. Be there! 

**Please bring a can or a bag of pet food or pet supplies to donate to the People to People Food Pantry in Danvers. Thank you!**
