Community Giving: Willow Domestic Violence Center
Erica is celebrating 15 years by giving back and donating to 15 charities in 2018.
This month we are highlighting Willow Domestic Violence Center.
Their Mission & Vision:
Our Mission is to prevent domestic violence and ensure every survivor has access to the services and supports needed along the journey to a safe and empowered life.
Our Vision is a community free from domestic violence, where healthy relationships thrive.
*All of Willow’s services are free and confidential.
They have a new program- Safety for Survivors and Their Pets.
When survivors of domestic violence escape their abusive homes they’re not only faced with the challenge of finding shelter for themselves and their children, but also for their pets.
65% of domestic violence survivors do not leave the abuser because of concern about what might happen to their pets. The Pet Program will help survivors heal by keeping their pets with them during a difficult time.
