MOMS CLUB OF BETHEL TO HOLD “HEALTHY FAMILIES, HAPPY LIVES” COMMUNITY EVENT Bethel, CT – The MOMS Club of Bethel will be holding “Healthy Families, Happy Lives” on Sunday, June 3 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm at the Clifford J. Hurgin Municipal Center, 1 School Street, Bethel, CT.
“The tragedy that occurred to Lucas Storey's family is truly horrific. We can never bring back Lucas' mother, Michelle. As tragic as this is, we are fortunate to have organizations like the Women's Center of Greater Danbury to help in trying times such as these. I hope that the community will join us in not only learning about how to prevent such adversities, but also helping to raise awareness and funds to help both of these worthy causes”, Alycia Matchen, President of Mom’s Club of Bethel, said.
Domestic violence has a tremendous impact on communities. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), an estimated 1.3 million women are physically abused by their partners every year.
“We are so grateful to the Moms Club of Bethel for providing us with the proceeds of this event. As a non-profit organization, it is this type of community support that enables us to be there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all adults and children needing our free and confidential help and services”, said the Executive Director of Women’s Center of Greater Danbury, Pat Zachman.
The MOMS Club is an international non-profit organization dedicated to offering support to at-home moms, with over 1,800 chapters in seven countries and 85,000 members worldwide.
