Thank you Liberty University Women's Law Society!

Under the direction of President Jillian Miller and Vice President Gracie Carter, this wonderful group came in and decorated our rooms in the shelter. They painted, and so much more! Everything they did added warm and welcoming touches. Because of their time and hard work, the women and children who stay with us will have a space that feels like home!

We are so grateful for your generosity and your heart for our community!

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic violence doesn’t always happen in plain sight. It can happen behind closed doors, afternoons, evenings and YES EVEN ON SUNDAYS.

Let’s continue to raise awareness, break the silence, and remind survivors that they are not alone. Every person deserves to live free from fear, abuse, and violence. Together, we can make a difference by listening, believing, and connecting those in need with support.

Help is available 24/7. You are not alone.

YWCA Central Virginia Hotline: 434-528-1041

Last night, we gathered in the glow of candlelight to honor the lives lost to domestic violence and to stand with every survivor still finding their way forward. Each flame carried a name, a story, and a promise: you are not alone.

Thank you to our community partners: Campbell County Victim Witness Services, Campbell County Sheriff's Office and Campbell County Department of Social Services for standing with us. To the courageous survivor who told her story THANK YOU! A special thank you to Reverend Gary Penn for officiating our prayer which offered comfort and strength to all who attended.

If you or someone you love needs help, support is available 24/7 through the National Domestic Violence Hotline 434-528-1041.

Domestic violence can happen to anyone, in any community, and in any relationship. Behind the numbers are real people—survivors, families, and lives that deserve safety, dignity, and hope.

The FBI’s 2020–2024 report highlights the continued impact of violence within domestic relationships, including more than 11,000 domestic violence murder victims and an additional 1.1 million victims of domestic violence reported during the five-year period.

We are here to educate, support, empower, and walk alongside survivors.

If you or someone you know needs help, our 24/7 Domestic Violence Hotline is available:

434-528-1041

Throughout October, we come together to raise awareness about domestic violence, honor survivors, remember those whose lives have been lost, and remind our community that support is available.

Everyone deserves to live free from violence. This month, we’ll be sharing resources, stories, education, and opportunities to get involved as we work toward a safer community for all.

Follow along throughout the month and help us spread awareness.
