With Thanksgiving around the corner what are you thankful for? The Coalition is thankful for our shelter members that provide not only shelter and safety for survivors but all of their meals so they can enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner free from violence. We are thankful for our donors who make it possible for us to keep doing the vital work that we do but also give us the ability to expand our services so we can bring more support to domestic violence survivors and awareness to the state. We are thankful for people all around our state that help us in the battle against domestic violence!
Our new Parent and Child Legal Aid program thus far has helped 60 victims of domestic violence electronically file for orders of protection and we have represented 36 parents and 54 children in domestic violence homes obtain an order of protection at court hearings.
