E-Newsletter: April 2026

Our Text Line is Officially 24/7!

Domestic violence doesn't follow a schedule, and neither should receiving support. Our 24/7 text line lets survivors who are unable to call our hotline access resources, make a safety plan, and receive compassionate guidance, day or night.

You deserve support on your terms. You are not alone and we are here to help.

If you or a loved one needs our services, text "HOPE" to 85511.

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month!

We'd like to highlight some of our dedicated volunteers who have made our mission possible for over 46 years:
