Looking back on November, we have a lot to be thankful for! Because of your support , we provided over 50 families with Thanksgiving Meal Kits and we kicked off a successful Giving Tuesday & The Holiday Giving Program. It's been heartwarming to see the joy our supporters feel and spread through their participation in these programs. We can't wait to see how this support will bring cheer to survivors the rest of the holiday season!

As we near the end of 2022, we want to share the impact your support has made so far this year and remind you of our end of the year initiatives that are still in full swing!

Season of Giving

Make A Difference This Holiday Season!

Giving Tuesday
Now - December 4th

Our Giving Tuesday fundraiser is still going strong, but wrapping up tomorrow night!

We haven't quite reached our goal of raising $$ to cover 100 nights of shelter, but there's still time to sponsor a night (or more)!

By donating to Peaceful Paths during our Giving Tuesday campaign, you support our emergency shelter, and you'll also help us replace our two "down" computer stations which our shelter residents use to work, study, and play.

One night of shelter costs us $100, but is always free to our clients, their children, and their pets just like all of our services.

Our second goal is no less important! We are hoping that 5 more supporters will pledge their monthly commitment to Peaceful Paths by becoming an Ally in Action! This week we've had two new supporters join our Allies in Action Team!
Read below on how to set up automated giving and why it's so important for our financial stability and planning! You can become an ally today or any day of the year. Already an ally? Let us know if you'd like to increase your monthly gift and we can set that up!

Holiday Giving Program
Now - December 12th

Our Holiday Giving Program is still rock'n!

This year, we have 140 families that have shared their holiday wishes with us! Our goal is to help fill as many of these wishes for them, spread some much needed cheer, and take a burden off of them while they heal and build back their lives. We do this through our Adopt-A Family Program as well as general holiday donations from our community members.

We still have 25 families that have not been matched with a donor in our Adopt-A-Family Program.

You can also give back by volunteering your time to wrap presents, decorate our Outreach Office, or host a food drive!
It's a wonderful time of year to contribute your time & talents.
Your gifts inspire hope in domestic violence survivors and
support our mission to save lives and create change.
