Imagine every third home in our community darkened by abuse.
One in three women will be a victim of physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. At The Family Place, our goal has always been to make every home a safe home, but we can only do that with your help.
This has been a hard year for all of us, but it’s been especially hard for victims of family violence.
Our counselors and shelter staff know that when the community is suffering, our clients suffer more, our phones ring more often, and our shelters fill beyond capacity. As the holidays approach, already high stress levels get worse. It’s critical for The Family Place to be here now for battered women and children who need a safe place to escape from their abusers.
Especially this year, every gift makes a difference.
Funding our lifesaving programs has been extremely difficult in 2020. We hope you will give more, but even just $1 will buy a snack for a child—and we provide more than 100,000 snacks each year. If there’s any way you can dig a little deeper than you did last year, we promise to put every dollar to good use providing shelter, food, clothing, counseling and the resources to start new lives.
Please give generously to The Family Place today and help us bring the light of love and hope to victims in our care.
