Community members and leaders from Greene County will light candles and remember victims, survivors, and advocates of domestic violence tonight, a spokesperson from the Violence Free Futures said.

It is the third-annual candlelight vigil and will take place this evening at 6 p.m. at The Greene Town Center Pavilion.

The vigil is hosted by Violence Free Futures (VFF) and their goal is to help raise awareness of domestic violence in Greene County, the spokesperson said.

Throughout the program, there will be messages from VFF staff members and a musical presentation from volunteers.

The VFF is also putting together a “Clothesline Project” display to tell stories about domestic violence through t-shirts.
