Wednesday (Apr 22), join fellow advocates for the “Sixth Annual Walk of Hope,” to raise awareness for Victims of Crime. The event is from 11:30 am until 1:00 pm and is at the Plaza in downtown Paris. There are a free hot dog lunch, music, and a program to give our local Crime Victims hope, courage, and empowerment. If victims of crime feel the community support is behind them, they are more likely to report the crime, and that is the first step to get out of the cycle of abuse. We serve free Hot dogs at 11:30, the program begins at noon, and then the walk for about a mile around downtown area starts at 12:30. Signs supporting crime victims will be held by People participating.
