The Shelter for Abused Women & Children’s Immokalee Outreach Office held its annual Children’s Peace Fair from 3-6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 21, at the Collier County Immokalee Sports Complex. The event raises awareness during October’s National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

This year’s event also included a Peace March as a call to end domestic violence.
“This has always been a very special event for The Shelter,” says Shelter CEO Linda Oberhaus, “As construction continues on The Shelly Stayer Shelter in Immokalee, it is even more important than ever to raise awareness in this community.”
