The Department of Family Services' Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking Division will host its Father’s Day Pledge Initiative on Thursday, June 13, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 112 in Upper Marlboro. The purpose of the Father’s Day Pledge Initiative is to bring fathers, young men, uncles, women, businesses, and community organizations together to take action and inspire change to prevent violence against women. We are inviting residents to make a pledge and commit to nurturing positive relationships by signing a Pledge Board. With your help, we pledge to end domestic violence. We want to invite you again to be a part of this year’s event by picking up a pledge board. You can also register for the event by using the link below.
