In 2005, FavorHouse established the White Rose Luncheon as its annual signature event to honor survivors of domestic violence and to highlight the courage these women displayed in breaking away from a life of pain and horror. This year’s guest speaker will be Laticia “Action” Jackson, an Air Force veteran, author and a survivor of domestic violence.

The luncheon will be catered by Spot On catering and all proceeds go to FavorHouse’s domestic violence shelter program.
