Helping Hands Against Violence will hold a candlelight vigil in downtown Hood River Tuesday evening. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Helping Hands Executive Director Stephanie Irving says the statistics on the number of women who are victims of domestic violence are staggering, with one out of every four women victimized in some way. Tuesday evening’s vigil starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Georgiana Smith Park adjacent to the Hood River Library. Participants are encouraged to wear the color purple, the symbolic color of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
