October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, support survivors, honor those whose lives have been lost, and remind everyone that no one deserves to live in fear. To those who have survived, your strength is incredible. To those who are still struggling, you are not alone. To those who have lost someone, we remember and honor them. To those who are finding the courage to leave, you deserve safety, peace, and happiness. At Metro, we believe a coffee shop should be more than just a place to grab a drink. It should be a place where people feel welcomed, valued, respected, and treated with kindness. You never know what someone may be going through behind closed doors. Be kind, listen, and offer support. If you or someone you know needs help, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
