Sunday marks the 59th Annual Easter Sunrise Service in Veteran’s Park in Redondo Beach. For the past 19 years King’s Harbor Church has organized the service as a benefit for the Redondo Beach Police Department Domestic Violence Victims Advocacy Program (RBPD DVVA Program).
The program was founded in 2012 when a Redondo Beach resident visited the R.B.P.D. to turn in her husband’s unregistered handgun. She told the police that she felt that her life and the lives of her two sons were in danger. Police introduced the mother to Gonzalez.
Today, the mother volunteers for the support group. “It changed my life and I am very grateful,” she said.
Victim advocates and Redondo police officers have worked together since 1996 to provide emergency services and resources to thousands of victims, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The RBPD DVVA program is sponsored by the R.B.P.D. and Beach Cities Health District.

The Our Lady of Guadalupe choir will perform at the Church’s Easter Sunrise Services held each year on the beach at 11th Street in Hermosa Beach.
