Community United Conversation Series

Community United Conversation Series

We will celebrate the hundreds of caring individuals, engaged companies and committed partners across Oxford County, as well as the collective success of United Way’s annual fundraising campaign and community impact efforts. This year’s Campaign Celebration will be hosted by Kelly Gilson, Executive Director at United Way Oxford, and will feature the announcement of our annual Community Awards, special guests and the opportunity to learn more about local community needs and the difference your donations and support are making.

This Community United Conversation is about Intimate Partner Violence, previously referred to as Domestic Violence. Join our local experts to learn more about this unignorable issue. We deepen our understanding of what this is, what the signs are, what services are in place to help, the impact of family violence on children and our community and the significant challenges that COVID has posed for those living in unsafe conditions.
