Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Domestic Violence Awareness Month is observed during the month of October but affects our community every single day. The Grand Rapids Public Library has partnered with the Child and Family Resource Council with a display of books and informational materials at the Main Library.
Contact the Kent County Domestic Violence Community Coordinated Response Team through their web site, or at 616-454-4673, for information on community events to be held this month, as well as for more information on this important issue.
