Domestic Violence Awareness Month is observed annually in October. The local observance is led by Hospitality House for Women, Inc., whose mission is to support survivors of domestic violence.

The walk will originate from the back garden of the Rome-Floyd County Library. Registration will begin at 11 am, and the walk will start at noon.
