FRFCU & YWCA Union County Launched the Purple Ribbon Campaign in Honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Financial Resources FCU and YWCA Union County proudly partnered to launch the Purple Ribbon Campaign, a powerful initiative to raise awareness for Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. We adorned downtown Elizabeth, NJ, with purple ribbons, each accompanied by informative cards containing domestic violence statistics and the YWCA hotline number, all in an effort to educate and support the community. The partnership was solidified with a generous $5,000 donation from the FRFCU Foundation to support the YWCA's domestic violence victim support program.
