Lorena gallo foundation is a Non-Profit organization that works with various community organizations helping victims of domestic violence

Lorena was born in Ecuador and raised in Venezuela. Upon completion of school she moved to the Northern Virginia area. Lorena then met John Bobbitt, and married at a very young age. Throughout her marriage she was a victim of domestic violence. Today, Lorena no longer considers herself a victim of domestic violence. With the formation of her non profit organization (Lorena’s Red Wagon), she is now able to speak out against domestic violence.The primary function of her organization is to try to prevent domestic violence through family oriented activities. The organization takes on many other roles, such as:

-Working with local and national government organizations, helping to create stricter and more enforceable domestic violence laws.

-Working with various shelters within the community, soliciting donations on behalf of the shelters, thus helping the shelter to provide meals, food, and clothing for the families in the shelter.

-Coordinating with local businesses to help provide over 200 hot meals to needy families for Thanksgiving, along with coordinating a toy drive to provide needy children with presents during the holiday season.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

This month, we stand with survivors. We remember those whose lives have been lost to domestic violence, and we work to create a community where no one feels alone or unheard.

Awareness is important because understanding the signs can help someone recognize what is happening to them, or someone they love. Speaking up matters because one conversation can make a difference in someone’s life. Support matters because survivors deserve compassion without judgement.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but our commitment to ending domestic violence continues all year long.

Community. Compassion. Action.

This weekend, the Lorena Gallo Foundation (LGF) proudly participated in the Coldest Night of the Year Walk (CNOY) benefiting Hope And Rest Temporary Shelter (HARTS) in Front Royal.

Our LGF walking team members were Adam, Riya, Anika, Susanne, Ashley, Anna, Tracy and Lorena joined the walk.
Alongside generous community sponsors and donors including Dave from National Window Tint, Brooke from Studio B Salon, Zo, Kat, Mary, and Gardner; together we helped HARTS raise over $42,000 to support shelter and services for those in need.

This growing annual event is making a real difference in Warren County. it’s great when a community works together for a common goal that can benefit others, we are honored to stand with organizations that provide safety, stability, and hope.

We are proud to support HARTS and look forward to continuing this collaboration next year and beyond.
Together, we are stronger.💜
