THE ANNUAL DAY OF GIVING IS HERE!

32% of women in New York State are victims of domestic violence. For GivingTuesday 2022, our goal is to raise $3,200 to benefit our Youth and Family Violence Prevention Programs. The goal of these programs is to end the cycle of violence in families and among teens in our communities, the vision is a world where 0% of people are victims of domestic violence. 

We are asking for your help to get 100 people to make a $32 donation on GivingTuesday this November 29th to help us continue and expand these programs in our communities to help end violence. The first 20 donors on GivingTuesday will receive the 2022 Take Back the Night t-shirt
