Celebrating 50 Years: It’s Our Golden Jubilee!
Join us as we commemorate half a century of service.
Join us at The Backdrop for a night of significance and celebration as we mark the milestone of Verity’s 50th Gala, commemorating fifty years of unwavering dedication to our community. This momentous occasion will not only honor Verity’s legacy of service but also stand as a testament to the resilience and strength of survivors of sexual assault. Through activities, local faire and libations, and opportunities for connection, we invite you to be a part of this empowering evening, where every ticket sold directly supports survivors and contributes to the vital work of Verity in promoting healing and empowerment.
Together, let us champion a future where survivors are heard, supported, and uplifted, and where hope shines brightly for all.

Weekly Women’s Sexual Assault Survivors Support Group
This group is now meeting remotely! For adult women and nonbinary survivors, we provide a weekly drop-in support group on Mondays from 6 PM – 7 PM. We strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere where participants can share, connect, and feel understood.
Sharing is not mandatory and if you prefer to just listen, that is perfectly fine. We understand that it may feel easier to be alone, but it might also be nice to listen to others share their struggles and successes.
The group does not meet on holidays. For more information or to find an upcoming group, please call us at (707) 545-7270 or check our Facebook page. Email [email protected] for information on how to get a ZOOM invitation.
