Support Survivors

Every action, big or small, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of survivors of domestic violence. Here are some impactful ways you can join us in supporting those in need:

​​​

Fundraising Committee

Looking for an ongoing way to make a difference? Join our fundraising committee and collaborate with passionate individuals who are dedicated to creating innovative ways to support survivors. From planning events to brainstorming new initiatives, your voice and ideas can help us make a lasting impact.

​

Host a Community Fundraiser

Bring your community together to raise awareness and funds for survivors. From bake sales to trivia nights, charity walks to online campaigns, hosting a fundraiser is a powerful way to unite friends, family, and neighbors in support of a vital cause. Not sure where to start? Be sure to check out our handy "How-To" Third-Party Fundraising guide.  Send us your proposal via our Branches Community Fundraising Agreement at blevins@branchesdvs.org 

​

Provide a Meal

A warm, nourishing meal can offer more than sustenance; it provides comfort and a sense of care. Consider preparing or sponsoring a meal for survivors staying in our shelter. Whether you cook it yourself or partner with a local restaurant, your contribution will help us create a welcoming environment for those we serve.

Meals on a Mission, our community meal donation program, is such an easy way to get started! ​

 

Other Ways to Help

  • Donate Wishlist Items: Support survivors by donating essential items like clothing, toiletries, and household goods.

  • Volunteer: Share your time and skills by volunteering with our team.

  • Spread the Word: Follow us on social media and share our mission to help raise awareness.

  • ​

Together, we can create a community where survivors feel supported, empowered, and safe. Ready to get involved? Contact us today to learn more or take the first step in showing your support!

Whether you're rooting for each other or championing an Anti-Violence Social Club, you can bring both messages home and let twice the good shine through!

​

Our Glass for Good suncatchers, created in partnership with Blenko Glass, are a beautiful way to celebrate the power of community while making a meaningful difference for survivors.

​

🌱 Fig: "Root for Each Other"

🍀 Clover: "Anti-Violence Social Club"

​

And here's the best part: 50% of the proceeds from every suncatcher sold benefit survivors staying at Branches Domestic Violence Shelter!

​

A little beauty for your windows. A little light for your space. And a whole lot of good for your community. 💜

Shop the collection and let a little good shine through!
