RICADV director Deb DeBare said, “We are immensely grateful that Confreda Farms has stepped forward another year to support victims of domestic violence. At a time in which domestic violence organizations are being hurt by the sequestration cuts and shrinking budgets, events like this one are critical to keeping doors open and keeping victims safe. We thank Confreda Farms for their leadership and for demonstrating how everyone can play a role in ending domestic violence.”
