The Montgomery County Victims’ Rights Foundation (VRF) celebrated 26 years of service with a luncheon in Germantown on Friday. The nonprofit organization performs volunteer support services on behalf of victims of violent crimes and attacks.
During the event, the families of the 2002 D.C. sniper victims were honored. Councilmember Sidney Katz also received a lifetime achievement award.
VRF’s founder says while the organization plans to continue with their mission of assisting victims of violent crimes, in the future they plan to develop a task force to help with bullying in the community.
