We stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities by:
• Operating the only domestic violence shelters in Montgomery and Preble counties (including our area’s longest-running 24/7 crisis hotline and clinical services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault)
• Providing supportive housing and economic empowerment services for single women and families transitioning out of abuse
• Offering Girls LEAD! (Leadership Education Activism Development), a signature in-school and summertime leadership and emotional wellness development program.
• Advocating for racial justice, social justice, and the voices and needs of the women and children we serve, from local public policy to federal legislation, with a particular focus on the intersectionality of race and gender.
Your support ensures a safe, secure, successful future for hundreds of women and children across the Miami Valley every day — and ensures this support remains for years to come. Thank you!
