The 40 Days for Life team brings awareness to the vigils through Life Chain events in their community. Maureen in Poughkeepsie says this form of community outreach began five years ago.

?Over the years there has been a steady increase in pro-life support within the community,? she said, ?and participants on the Life Chain this past Sunday, once again, noted that there was an increase in the number of positive horn beeps and responses from passing vehicles.?
