BE THE KEY TO BRIGHTER FUTURES FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES!

Domestic violence is a tremendous impediment to a safe home and undermines a child’s ability to grow and thrive. Your donation paves the way to making our vision a reality as we work together to empower individuals and families to cultivate safe spaces for their children to grow and thrive and to give them tools to gain independence and stability.

Since 2013, supporters like you donated more than $5,240,000 at AVDA’s special events! Your support has strengthened families and provided safer homes. Every dollar makes a difference.
