Hubbard House’s 16th annual Stand Up & Stride Domestic Violence Awareness Walk has been set for March 29.

In its 48-year history, Hubbard House has served nearly 160,000 survivors of domestic violence and children each year, including 4,574 last fiscal year.
The event is 8 a.m. to noon March 29, with the walk beginning at 9 a.m. It will be held at 330 E. Bay St. (former Duval County Courthouse site).
