Deanna O’Dell, a client advocate with the Beckley outreach office of the Women’s Resource Center, displays one of the free candles being distributed to businesses and individuals who request them. The West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence is sponsoring a statewide campaign in which residents and businesses are asked to display the lights throughout the month. On Thursday, everyone with one of the candles is asked to burn them all night in honor of survivors of domestic violence and in memory of those who have lost their lives.
