BUY SPECIALIZED PLATES TO HELP AVALON

Virginia residents can now sign up to purchase a special license plate that will benefit Avalon: A Center for Women and Children.

Proceeds from the Drive Peace Home license plate program support the prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault in communities across Virginia by building the Healthy Futures Fund, started by the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance. For Avalon to receive some of these funds, the nonprofit needs to collect at least 25 pre-paid license plate orders.

For every 25 plates Avalon sells through June 21, the agency will receive one share of the Healthy Futures fund. Avalon’s goal is to sell over 100 plates, which read “peace begins at home” in pink letters.

“Our hope is that the ‘peace begins at home’ message will infiltrate our local streets, bringing awareness to the issues of domestic and sexual violence, ultimately promoting  prevention,” according to Avalon’s Director of Development and Communications Jacquelyn Jamason.

To purchase one of the special-interest plates to benefit Avalon, visit the Drive Peace Home website, complete the form, and then mail or drop off forms and checks to Avalon, or call the office and schedule a pick-up.

Avalon’s mailing address is 3204 Ironbound Road Williamsburg, VA, 23188. Call the Avalon office with any questions at 258-5022.
