SAVE THE
DATE!
As part of our ongoing effort to increase awareness about
domestic abuse, Alexandra House will hold its Fifth Annual
Walk for Hope: Steps to End Domestic Violence on Saturday,
October 10th, 2009. The 5K run and 2 mile walk will be held
at Bunker Hills Regional Park in Andover, MN.
This family-friendly event will build understanding about the
issue of domestic violence and inspire our community to take
action towards ending violence against women, children and
families. There will also be an opportunity to honor and
remember those who have lost their lives to domestic violence,
those who have survived, and those who continue their struggle.
Last year, a record 600 people from the North Metro community
participated in the Walk for Hope, and we hope to match that
again this year. If you would like more information or are
interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Jenny Green,
Shelter Director at 763-780-2332. _______________________________________________________
THANK YOU!
Alexandra House would like to give a big
THANK YOU to the area Boy Scout troops that participated in the
annual food drive recently. The eight troops donated a combined
total of 8,191 pounds of food and raised $338.00 for our
shelter!

What is domestic abuse? The
systematic misuse of power and control over another person...More...
Are you or could you be a victim?
Is your partner jealous of the time you spend with friends,
family or co-workers?...More...
Are you or is someone you know in an
abusive relationship?
