A DeWitt County domestic abuse support group is honoring victims and survivors. 

Ashlynn Burrus with DOVE Inc. in DeWitt County explains that they will be hosting a candlelight vigil this evening at 6 PM at Journey Church in Clinton to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Burrus says the event will have a few guest speakers who will share testimonials and information, as well as the candle lighting to honor victims who have died due to domestic violence situations, people who have survived, and advocates of victims. 

According to Burrus, the speakers that will be featured come from Growing Strong in Decatur and the Clinton Police Department. They will also offer refreshments after the ceremony. 

Burrus hopes anyone and everyone will come to this event because whether you know it or not, many people know someone who has been through or is currently in a domestic violence situation. 

The event is tonight, Monday, October 28th at 6 PM at Journey Church in Clinton. Find more information on DOVE at doveinc.org
