Dear supporters,
As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude on behalf of the Melrose Alliance Against Violence (MAAV) for your unwavering support of our organization's mission to end domestic violence before it begins. Your contributions have allowed us to provide essential services and programs to those who are at risk or have experienced domestic violence. Together, we are making a difference and creating a safer community for everyone.
From all of us at MAAV, we want to say THANK YOU for making this year a success! We could not have done it without the many hands and hearts that lent themselves to us this year. From the members of Melrose Public Schools who assist with our Healthy Relationship programming to the Mayor's Office for their support of White Ribbon Day and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and especially to the countless community members and organizations who support our work by attending events, donating time and funds to our programs, and by joining us in strength and unity at the Candlelight Vigil and Walk to end domestic violence.
This year has also had its challenges for many, and our organization has been no exception. We have gone through many changes internally, and have witnessed increased survivor needs. Despite these challenges, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to our mission to provide critical services to those who need them and strive to find new, innovative ways to keep survivors safe.
Looking ahead to the New Year, we have ambitious goals to expand our prevention programs and education initiatives to more of Melrose and beyond. With your ongoing support, we can continue to make progress in preventing domestic violence before it begins. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels safe and respected in their relationships.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our mission to end domestic violence.
