PEACE4ALL Plans to Pamper 4 P.E.A.C.E.

Crystal Lake’s domestic violence and rape prevention agency for both women and men, PEACE4ALL is holding a “pampering” fund raiser.

Every time I write an article, I have to go back and look up what the “P.E.A.C.E.” part of the name stands for.

It is an acronym that stands for:

  • Prevent,
  • Educate, and
  • Advocate in our
  • Community in order to
  • End domestic violence and sexual assault.

“PEACE 4 ALL believes in providing education to our all of our community members and they are available for speaking engagements for your groups or classes of adults and children,” I have in the earlier article.

Running an all-volunteer agency without government support still takes money, or course.

I wrote a belated article about how the group coordinated the distribution of Christmas presents to area families in need. Women in Management, the Women’s Leadership Network and members of the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce Newcomers, among many others, were involved in the project.

The group’s press release follows:
