As community members started their walk against domestic violence, an area woman approached them to find out who to contact to help someone in her family who she indicated was a victim.

Jennifer Nagle, president of Zonta Club of La Salle-Peru Area, USA, told the woman about A Domestic Violence And Sexual Assault Service in Streator — a service that provides a safe atmosphere for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. The woman searched for the service on her phone and found the contact information.

The club held the Luminary Walk Against Domestic Violence in October with about a dozen people joining the effort and attending the program afterward.
