Donate

We rely on the support of our individual donors. Every donation goes directly toward helping improve the lives of the women and children we serve. Domestic violence is an overwhelming issue, but even a small donation can have an enormous impact.

 

Volunteer

Volunteering can be a deeply rewarding experience. Everyone who is involved in our effort is a part of changing lives, not just for one woman or one child, but for all of us. We truly are changing the world, one person at a time.
