			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Voices of Hope has scheduled several activities to raise awareness about the issue of sexual assault and its impact on our community and to raise funds to support Voices of Hope’s services for victims of sexual assault. Those services include our 24-hour a day crisis line; 24-hour a day advocacy in response to calls from hospital emergency departments and law enforcement for assistance with victims; daily walk-in services for safety planning, assistance with protection orders, and basic needs provision; short-term counseling; and support groups. All of these services are free and confidential.</p>
<p>The flyer below promotes one of our April activities. Several vendors are supporting Voices of Hope throughout April by taking part in a “Virtual Vendor Showcase.”  Each vendor will donate a percentage of the cost of your on-line purchases to Voices of Hope. The flyer below shows the participating vendors, their websites and contact information. <em>(Note: Some include special instructions for how to order and give credit to Voices of Hope, so please read the flyer carefully.)</em></p>
<p>Thank you for your support of Voices of Hope. Please forward this to others who may want to support us through this fundraiser.</p>
