It’s not too late to be part of Purple Pumpkins.

There’s something powerful about watching little hands paint these pumpkins, knowing that soon they’ll be placed throughout our downtown communities carrying a message much bigger than they are.

Each purple pumpkin is sponsored by someone in our community who chooses to stand with survivors of domestic violence. It says, we see you, we believe you, and you are not alone.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month isn’t only about talking about abuse. It’s about creating communities where survivors feel supported, where healthy love is taught to the next generation, and where silence is replaced with hope.

When you sponsor a Purple Pumpkin, you’re doing more than helping us decorate our three counties. You’re helping place a visible reminder in the heart of our communities that survivors matter and support is here.

And maybe, just maybe, someone who needs that reminder will see one at exactly the right moment.

It’s not too late to sponsor a pumpkin and help us paint our communities purple.

Join our Silent Movement this Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

Wear a purple bracelet or paint your nail purple as a simple, silent way to show your support for survivors and take a stand against domestic violence.

Then post a photo, tag us, and invite someone else to join the movement. The more people who wear purple, the more awareness we create without saying a word.

Wear purple. Show your support. Start the conversation.

We’ve had a FALL GLOW-UP!

Our thrift store is looking fresh for fall, and we have LOTS of new items hitting the floor! If you haven’t stopped by lately, now is the perfect time to come treasure hunt.

But our store is about so much more than finding a great deal.

Every shirt you donate, every piece of furniture you bring us, every treasure you purchase, and every hour our volunteers give helps make it possible for NGMCN to provide critical services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

That donated shirt can help provide a meal for a family staying in shelter.
That $10 purchase can help keep our crisis line answered.
That bag of clothes can help us provide advocacy, transportation, emergency needs, counseling support, and a safe place for someone starting over.

Sometimes something that feels small to us can become part of something life-changing for someone else.

To our community: thank you. Thank you for donating instead of throwing things away. Thank you for shopping with us. Thank you to the volunteers who sort, hang, organize, clean, and give their time. And thank you for continuing to believe in the work we do.

Our thrift store truly belongs to this community, and because you continue to show up for us, we can continue showing up for survivors.

Come see our fall glow-up, check out all the new goodies, and remember:

When you donate here, you give hope.
When you shop here, your purchase has a purpose. ❤️

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001 — a day that forever changed our nation.

We honor the lives that were lost, the families who continue to carry their memory, and the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

At North Georgia Mountain Crisis Network, we are reminded of the strength that can be found when communities come together with compassion, courage, and a willingness to serve others.

May we never forget those we lost, those who ran toward danger to help, and the unity our nation showed in the days that followed.

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
