Behind the Scenes Team

ByHelping Services

It takes a lot of detail coordination to keep quality services available to survivors and their families. You can help with those details, such as:

  • Help with fundraising or awareness campaigns.
  • Host a drive for diapers, non-perishable food, personal care items, or cleaning supplies.
  • Use one of your events as a fundraiser: donate your birthday, get pledges for a 5K, have a garage sale with all or a portion of the money going to help victims of domestic violence.
  • Do clerical work (non-confidential): assemble safety packets, hand out fliers, or stuff mailings.
  • Collect gifts for the Christmas Giving Project.
  • Organize the food and personal care pantry.
  • Hand out awareness materials at parades.
