Expanding Resources, Growing Community Action..

How we differ from other local anti-violence services:

+ non-judgmental support

+ shame-free, open minded listening to folks that may continue a life alongside their harm-doer

+ no statute of limitations or crime reporting

+ no ‘proof of harm’ required for folks to receive services

+ holistic financial support programs

+ non-mandatory police reporting

1. Child Care Network

2. Community Transportation Network

3. Lending Circle

A hyper-local, community funds pool for survivors who need small, one-time, no proof required, cash grants.

4. Savings Matching Program

(Approved by Shirley Human, implemented and operated by FreeFrom.org.)

A year-long program that supports survivors in building emergency savings by matching their monthly savings up to $55/month.

5. Individual Safety Planning Consultations for Survivors

These are free, personal consultations for folks to intersect with our coalition of fellow survivors to brainstorm and propose an individualized path to long term safety.  No proof of violence is required to receive this service.  It is for those that desire peer support and feedback-specific to local limitations and assets—in an informal, confidential setting.
