Celebrating Volunteers at the Family Justice Center

Tonight, I'm participating in a celebration of the hard work of the many volunteers who support Montgomery County's Family Justice Center. All of us should recognize and appreciate their dedication and commitment to improving the lives of those in need.

I'm reminded of a quotation from Sandra Pupatello, a Canadian official who served as Minister of Community and Social Services. "The effects of abuse are devastating and far-reaching...With this investment, we’re not just providing more services, but services that meet the distinct needs of women from a broad range of backgrounds, because domestic violence speaks many languages, has many colours and lives in many different communities."
