LAKEPORT, Calif. – The city of Lakeport and the Lakeport Police Department, in conjunction with Lake Family Resource Center, are raising awareness and supporting sexual assault survivors in our community.
The Lakeport City Council will present a proclamation to Lake Family Resource Center designating April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
The Lakeport Public Works Department will light the downtown street lights in teal beginning April 1.
All Lakeport Police cars and officer uniforms will have a teal ribbon displayed throughout the month.
Susie Q’s Donuts, 414 S. Main St., will make donuts with teal-colored frosting, with 100-percent of the sale proceeds donated to the Lake Family Resource Center Sexual Assault Awareness Fund.
The public is encouraged to participate in Denim Day on Wednesday, April 28, and wear jeans to protest against sexual violence.
In support of Denim Day, Lakeport Police officers are authorized to wear jeans for their uniform pants from Friday, April 23, through Friday, April 30.
