🐱 Yes, we used a cute kitten to get your attention.

Now that we have it... Violence Free Futures is looking for a volunteer to help with occasional website updates!

If you have experience with WordPress, web design, or website management and would like to use your skills to support survivors of domestic and sexual violence, we'd love to hear from you.

Physical abuse is one of the most recognized forms of domestic violence, yet many survivors spend years minimizing or hiding what is happening to them.

No one deserves to be hurt, threatened, or controlled by someone they love. 💜

A special thank you to the Xenia Elks for their amazing donation of activity bags for children, complete with rock painting kits and decorated water bottles, along with boxes and boxes of snacks.

Domestic violence can be physical, emotional, verbal, financial, sexual, psychological, and digital.

The wounds aren't always visible. The impact is real.

If you or someone you know needs support, help is available.

Last night, our community came together to honor survivors, remember those lost to domestic violence, and stand united in hope and healing. 💜

Thank you to everyone who attended, our media partners who helped amplify this important message, our dedicated staff and board members, elected officials David Hayes, Sarah Mays, Don Adams, Ethan Reynolds, and Carolyn Destefani, and the Victim Witness Division for their support of survivors and our mission.

We were also honored to receive proclamations recognizing Domestic Violence Awareness Month and our community's commitment to ending domestic violence.
