3rd Annual Violent Crime Remembrance Vigil

The ONSE is hosting the Vigil as a heartfelt opportunity for our City to stand together in honor of the lives lost to violence and to support the families, friends, and neighbors who continue to carry their loved ones’ memories every day. The vigil is hosted to provide a safe and welcoming space where survivors and loved ones can find comfort, reflection, and solidarity. Together, we acknowledge the impact violence has had on our communities, share meaningful stories, and recognize the strength of fellow community members as they continue to heal. In addition to remembrance portion, the event will provide important updates on violence prevention efforts, highlight current data and trends affecting Columbia, and connect residents with supportive resources.
