 It's Not Too Late to Join the DVAM 2025 Quilt Project!
Did you know that quilting and art have long been integral to the movement to end sexual and domestic violence? For Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October 2025, Fairfax County Domestic and Sexual Violence Services is collecting quilt blocks created by the community with the theme of “Crafting Healthy Relationships.” The finished quilt will be displayed in Fairfax County Public Libraries in 2026.
