We haven't had an interview since June, so it's time for another one! It's also time to shine a light on a community resource and its leader, the Dove Center and Heather Hanline.
Located in Oakland, MD the Dove Center provides safety, advocacy, and counseling to individuals whose lives have been shattered by domestic violence and/or sexual assault, and strives to expand public awareness of those issues.
Heather is the director of the Dove Center and shared a ton of details on what she and her team do, which was far more than what we knew of their services. Domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or neglect, are just some of the issues the Dove Center can help victims work through.
The 24/7 help line, shelter space, counseling services, and transitional housing services at the Dove Center require a large team and large amount of supplies, and that means a lot of money. Their biggest fundraiser, The Festival of Trees, is an event that our entire community looks forward to. It's been since 2019 that the festival has fully happened, so there's some added excitement for its return this year. Of course we talk about its magic and how it sets the tone for the holiday season.
If you're in or near Garrett County, MD and would like to support the Dove Center, visit their website and click "ways to give." If you or someone you know needs help and support, you can call the Dove Center 24/7 at 301-334-9000.
