Needham Public Health Dept. Says Thanks to the Community

On April 12, 2013, Needham Community Council and Domestic Violence Action Committee (DVAC) hosted a fashion show to raise money and awareness for domestic violence in the Needham community.

We want to thank the some 250 people who attended the event, held at the Power’s Hall in Needham. The money raised will be reinvested into programs supported by the DVAC, as well as the Child Assault Project (CAP).

The Needham Domestic Violence Action Committee meets monthly and is a community-based interagency and interdisciplinary team formed to raise awareness of domestic violence.

We provideschool and community–based education and outreach, and information, resources and referral services. For more information visit our website or call the Needham Public Health Dept. at 781-455-7523 ext. 511 if you are interested in becoming a member.
