Recently, Tammie was granted a scholarship invitation to attend

Operation Care is saying
NO MORE
to Domestic Violence
and Sexual Assault


Click HERE to see more photos on our Facebook page.

Operation   Care is asking you to join in the movement to end the silence and end the violence. Say NO MORE and make domestic violence and sexual assault awareness and prevention a priority year-round.

We believe that domestic violence and sexual assault are everyone's issues, because we all potentially know someone who is a victim. It may be a family member, classmate, friend, or neighbor, but chances are, someone you know has been abused or sexually assaulted. To end domestic violence and sexual assault, conversations need to start and the blame and shame game that victims face has to end.  

Sexual Assault Awareness Month Activities

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is nationally recognized as an awareness and education campaign designed to educate the nation about sexual violence. Operation Care has teamed up with NO More in an effort to make a stand against sexual violence and engage bystanders to take action. We encourage Amador County residents to participate by wearing teal, the national color for SAAM, and to wear DENIM on April 29th for National Denim Day. Please also join us on April 29th for our annual Balloon Release between 9am and 4pm at Petkovich Park in Jackson.  read more...  

We encourage everyone to take part in this movement because only together can we end the silence, only together can we end the stigma, and only together can we end the violence. 

Thank you to all of the businesses that are supporting Sexual Assault Awareness Month! If you have a basket in your business, please send us a picture with you and your staff. We would love to post it on Facebook to show your support!
