Each year in October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Friars team up with Women Will to raise both awareness and funds for Sojourner House and SOAR. Sojourner House serves victims throughout the Providence area, providing shelter, advocacy, and information. SOAR is a task force of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, made up entirely of survivors of Domestic Violence, and is designed to make sure domestic violence victims' voices are heard and considered in the making of policy in Rhode Island. An information table will be set up Saturday in the Schneider Arena Lobby for more information and to help these organizations make a difference.
