The Village Initiative
is an informational campaign about public safety issues and solutions for the community. Through our faith based partners and houses of worship we circulate a factsheet on a public safety topic each month, to be placed in a bulletin or shared online. Each campaign consists of three components:
-
Relevant data on the topic;
-
Local, state & national resources for each topic;
-
Ways to be part of the solution.
