RACS Mission: To support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault through advocacy, counseling, and shelter services in a space designed for healing and hope.

10/10/2026

Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental health support isn’t only for moments of crisis. Healing looks different for everyone, and reaching out for support can be valuable at any stage of the journey.

At RACS, counseling services are available to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in a safe, supportive environment. You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out. Support is here when you’re ready. 💜

💜 It’s not too late to host a DVAM Supply Drive!

There’s still plenty of October left to get your workplace, school, church, civic group, or organization involved in Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

One simple way to make a difference? Help us stock the RACS emergency shelter with the everyday essentials our residents and their children use throughout the year.

🧻 Toilet paper & paper towels
🧼 Cleaning and laundry supplies
🧴 Shampoo, conditioner & body wash
🛏️ Pillows, sheets & bath towels
…and more!

We’ve made it easy — use the attached flyer to share our current needs and start collecting!

Already have a group that wants to participate? Contact RACS to arrange a drop-off or pickup.

Small items. Big impact. 💜

💜 Mid-Missouri, start planning your purple! 💜

National Purple Thursday is October 15, and we want to see our community covered in purple in support of survivors of domestic violence!

Get your coworkers involved. Challenge another department. Invite your classroom, church, organization, or entire workplace to participate. Wear a purple shirt, dress head-to-toe in purple, decorate your office — have fun with it!

📸 Then show us your purple!
Take a photo, share it on social media, and tag RACS so we can see and share how our community is showing up for survivors.

We'll be wearing our purple at RACS, too — and we can't wait to see who joins us.

October 15. Wear purple. Get your people involved. Take a photo. Tag RACS. 💜

Let’s turn Mid-Missouri purple!

💜 This is what care looks like.

Following the 2026 Missouri Accountants Conference, accountants from Missouri Electric Cooperatives spent time assembling special gift bags for the women served by RACS.

Each bag was thoughtfully filled with shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, body wash, inspirational stickers, a journal, and something we especially love — a handwritten note with words of encouragement.

These gifts provide practical items our clients can use, but they also carry an important message: someone in our community is thinking of you, supporting you, and wishing you well.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to purchase, assemble, and personalize these bags. Thank you for turning an afternoon together into an act of kindness for survivors in our community. 💜

Hope grows here — and sometimes it arrives in a gift bag.

🏈💜 Showing up for our community — on and off the field!

A huge thank you to the Capital City Football Team for spending a Saturday volunteering at RACS! Eight players and three coaches rolled up their sleeves to help with outdoor grounds maintenance and interior painting — and they got a lot done!

What makes this visit even more special? This is the second year in a row that the Capital City football program has chosen to spend a day volunteering with RACS.

Keeping our spaces welcoming, comfortable, and cared for takes work, and volunteer groups like this make a real difference.

Thank you to these players and coaches for giving us their time, energy, and some serious elbow grease. We are so grateful to have you as part of the RACS community! 💜🏈

RACS was proud to be part of the 12th Annual Project Homeless Connect in Jefferson City! 💜

Our team connected with more than 60 attendees, shared information about RACS services, distributed hygiene kits and resources, and built connections with other professionals serving our community.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to meet people where they are and work alongside community partners to make support and resources more accessible.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Project Homeless Connect possible! 💜

Earlier this month, members of the RACS leadership team attended the 2026 MOCADSV Leadership Institute at the Lake of the Ozarks! 💜

The two-day institute gave us an opportunity to learn, connect with leaders from across Missouri, and strengthen our skills in areas like communication, staffing, funding, and organizational leadership.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to step away from the day-to-day, learn from others doing this work, and bring new ideas back to RACS.

Growing stronger so we can serve better.
