Mercato Goes Purple to prevent domestic violence

Mercato celebrated its annual Mercato Goes Purple, Saturday, Oct. 24, with a variety of purple specials throughout the shopping district. Held in partnership with The Shelter for Abused Women & Children during October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Mercato Goes Purple raises awareness to further The Shelter’s mission to prevent, protect and prevail over domestic violence.

In addition to the store specials, patrons had the opportunity to participate in the Passport to Peace drawing, take part in Hands are for Helping, and enjoy the cool sounds of the band Karibbean Groove.
