Challenge

Designed to offer immediate assistance to victims and survivors in their time of need, our program provides essential food and baby supplies to those grappling with the aftermath of trauma. Whether fleeing domestic violence, overcoming economic hardship, or navigating the challenges of single parenthood, we offer a lifeline of support.

Solution

Women are disproportionately affected and contact us daily for food. This project will provide basic food items for those most in need, specifically: Women with children, the elderly, special needs family members, etc. We are already trying our best to support, but we cannot afford the expense to all of our clients. With your support, you will ensure more people in need will be provided essential goods to survive.

Long-Term Impact

By providing basic food and other supplies to women and their families, we hope to: Minimize the instances of domestic violence Stem the tide of returning to domestic violence harassers or situations where children were at risk of sexual or physical abuse in exchange for food and shelter.
