Today is GivingTuesday, a global day of generosity. The ongoing pandemic has brought increased incidences of domestic violence. Statistics show over 10,000 children in our community witness family violence each year.

Please join Empowerhouse with your life-changing gift to support victims of domestic violence and their children who, during the ongoing pandemic, are at higher risk for harm as they continue to be stuck at home more with their abusers.

Over the past year, thanks to caring friends like you, we have helped more than 3,300 people rebuild their lives, responded to a 32% increase in hotline calls, and spent over $455,000, a 50% increase in direct financial rental assistance since the pandemic started to keep the families in our Housing Program with additional economic burdens safe and secure.
 

You ensure that we Empower a New Generation by providing the resources for greater self-esteem, better self-care, and the skills for a healthy relationship. You support our Youth Resiliency Team as they engage and empower children in our Shelter and Housing Program by:

· Providing supportive and reassuring connections through phone calls, texts, and video chats to help children.

· Creating activity folders and boxes for children to have projects to do with their families.

· Assisting children with school-related assignments and communication skills.

· Sharing coping skills and acting as an outlet for age-appropriate discussions about COVID-19 to build resilience.
 

As one Mom in our Housing Program observed, "The kids have definitely been feeling overwhelmed by the pandemic but having a Youth Advocate calling them each week to just check-in and speak to them has been so wonderful."

Your GivingTuesday gift does change lives for the better and helps to Empower a New Generation by offering hope, safety, and much-needed services. A gift of any size matters! To donate, please click here:
