LIVINGSTON, NJ — Domestic violence affects every community. It thrives when we are silent, but if we take a stand and work together, we can end domestic abuse. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Rachel Coalition, a division of Jewish Family Service of MetroWest NJ, is excited to join together with the community at its third annual candlelight vigil on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at the Livingston Memorial Oval gazebo on South Livingston Avenue, across from Livingston Police Station, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Local community partner organizations, political leadership and clergy will be present to honor the victims and survivors.

This year marks Rachel Coalition’s 21st anniversary of increasing awareness of domestic abuse issues, by advocating for victims and by providing services to address the needs of victims and their families. The Rachel Coalition is a partnership of eight northern New Jersey organizations, whose mission is to provide services and support to help improve the lives of victims of domestic violence.
