On the evening of May 22, we intend to create a visually powerful and inspiring statement about the strength of individual survivors and the power of community. There will be music to enjoy and opportunities for reflection. Please come to Bridge Square, walk through the luminaries, and pay tribute to survivors of domestic/sexual violence throughout Rice County.
HOPE Center provides advocacy services and other forms of support to victims of domestic and sexual violence through healing, outreach, prevention and education.

Tonight's so important
My wish is that everyone reading these words would come to Bridge Square tonight. HOPE is what gave me hope when I was a child--hiding behind a coach--asking Jesus to save us.
Someone did come and they took my Mom and brothers and sisters some place really safe and things got better for all of us.
Tonight is so important. My family is alive because of HOPE-- other women and children did not make it they need us to remember.
Please come.
Thank You
