Place a purple Barb’s Bench in your community

Creating a Barb’s Bench memorial in your community is a touching way to pay tribute to those women who have lost their lives to domestic homicide. By placing a number connected to local women’s shelter or helpline on the bench, it can help guide a woman to promote hope for those living with violence in their relationships.

Is placing a Barb’s Bench a fit for you?

  • Does your community have a place a bench could be placed?
  • Does your committee/group have the capacity to fundraiser for the cost?
  • Are you willing to approach the parks/rec or municipality office to apply for placement?
  • Are you willing to host an event for the dedication of your community bench?

Yes? Then take action!
