Voices of Hope Hosts Virtual 4.5K Run to Celebrate 45-Year Anniversary
To celebrate 45 amazing years, Voices of Hope (www.voicesofhopelincoln.org) hosted its first-ever Virtual 4.5K Run the week of October 4–10. Participants posted photos of their experience on social media and tagged Voices of Hope with the hashtag #voh45years to be entered in a contest for prizes.
Voices of Hope began in 1975 when the Lincoln Coalition against Rape, a campus/community group, organized and began to provide a crisis line and support services for victims of sexual assault. Before long, the group also began providing services for victims of domestic violence. In 1976, the organization became part of Family Services Association and became known as the Rape/Spouse Abuse Crisis Center. In 1989, it incorporated as an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation in order to more exclusively focus on the issues of domestic violence, sexual assault, and related forms of abuse such as incest, stalking, and harassment. In 1992, the present facility at 2545 N St. was purchased. In 2007, the Rape/Spouse Abuse Crisis Center officially changed its name to Voices of Hope.
Over the years, Voices of Hope has continued to grow with the help of generous donors and volunteers that make their mission possible and vision reachable. To learn more, visit www.voicesofhopelincoln.org or contact (402) 476-2110 / info@voicesofhopelincoln.org.
