(Northampton, MA) — Close to 4,500 people took to the streets of Northampton Sunday to raise money for domestic violence prevention. The 18th annual “Hot Chocolate Run” to benefit Safe Passage made its in-person return, and raised over $800-thousand dollars for the program, which goes to support victims of domestic violence. The event had to be held virtually last year because of the COVID 19 pandemic.
