9th Annual Un-Dinner

STAYING HOME DOESN’T MEAN STAYING SAFE

Please join SHALVA during Domestic Violence Awareness Month to secure safety and healing for survivors of abuse.

Your gift can open the door today!

WOMEN NEED YOUR HELP

Though we are enjoying more freedoms than we were a year ago, it’s not so for women in an abusive relationship. There are still those who are trapped, isolated, and afraid.

They are not free or safe – they are constantly controlled by their abuser.

But you can help. You can ensure that SHALVA is prepared to meet the high
demand for those in need of counseling, legal assistance, or financial support in the coming months.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

At our Un-Dinner, you participate from home. Dress how you want, eat a meal of your choice, and pick your own entertainment!

Your gift today can open a door to provide a path toward healing and safety.

 

HEALING IS A PROCESS

The path to healing for a survivor is infinitely harder now.  She wants to have a better life.  But please understand change does not happen overnight. It is a process.  Your gift today will help her progress to the life she deserves!
