True Blue Salon donating funds to local domestic violence shelter
More stories from Erika Johnk
Branches Domestic Violence Shelter and True Blue Salon partnered together to have a “Dresses For Domestic Peace” 1-4 p.m. Sunday at True Blue Salon.
The formal wear will range from $25 to $50 and proceeds will go to Branches.
“This event helps people obtain beautiful dresses for a prom or formal event for a lot less,” said Amanda McComas, executive director of Branches. “Sometimes people may have not been able to go to a formal event otherwise.”
According to the Branches website, “The shelter works to empower the increasing number of domestic violence victims and their families to break the cycle of domestic violence in our area. Aside from providing emergency shelter, Branches offers legal assistance, individual and group counseling and case management to ready our clients to become independent.”
The event is opened to anyone who is in search of formal wear or those who want to support a great cause.
