A well healed fundraiser in its 14th year is making a few changes because of the pandemic. YWCA Rock County Walk a Mile Event Committee Chair Clair Berg says fundraising has already begun on social media for the August 7th event, which will be held at the former Sears Store on Milton Avenue in Janesville this year. Berg says the YWCA Rock County last year provided a safe place to stay for close to one-hundred abused women, and more than 150 children. Berg highlights how the pandemic and “Safer at Home” orders may have resulted in an increase of domestic violence.
