Join YWCA Evanston/North Shore this October for our 3rd Annual Domestic Violence CommUNITY Resource Fair—a welcoming, family-friendly event where anyone can explore local resources for housing, counseling, legal aid, health services, financial wellness, and more. Meet trusted partners, ask questions, and discover practical ways to support survivors and be an ally in our community.
Your privacy matters
To respect the privacy and safety of all attendees—especially survivors—registration is not required. You’re welcome to attend without RSVPing and there will be no check-in at the door. (If you prefer, you may RSVP on Eventbrite to help us plan, but it’s completely optional.)
What to expect:
Dozens of community organizations with resources, information, and interactive activities
Food, refreshments, free parking, childcare, and children’s activities so families can comfortably explore the fair
A trauma-informed, judgment-free environment—come as you are, whether you’re seeking help, supporting a loved one, or learning how to be an ally
Who should attend?
Survivors, friends and family, neighbors, students, service providers, faith and civic partners—everyone is welcome.
