Back to School with Backpacks from Saving Angels

Fall is here, and the children living in our shelters are heading back to school. The families fleeing violent homes arrive at our shelters with next to nothing; most children lack backpacks and basic school supplies. 

We are deeply grateful for Jennifer Lee and Saving Angels for donating backpacks (filled with school supplies!) to the children living at our shelters. Thank you, Jennifer, for ensuring these children are ready for school! 

The Most Important Gift you can Give this Holiday Season

Give to safeguard families fleeing domestic violence.   Give to free our communities of relationship abuse and bullying. Give the Gift of Safety

For more than 35 years, the Center Against Domestic Violence has been working toward a society free from violence by transforming the lives of victims and raising awareness in our communities. Thank you for helping us end domestic violence. Donate

Thanks, Operation Backpack!

This week the children in the Center's emergency domestic violence shelters returned to school.  One of the consequences of homelessnes, especially homelessness caused by family violence, is the disruption of a child's education.  These children need school supplies for the upcoming year.

For over a decade, Volunteers of America's Operation Backpack has collected and distributed school supplies to these, the City's most vulnerable children.


Here at the Center, 165 children and teens received full backpacks and a big dose of confidence for their return to school.

Thank you!
