Our October 2025 Donation Drive benefits Journey Center for Safety and Healing

Domestic violence and child abuse affects us all. The statistics are grim. In the United States, 1 in 4 women will experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime 1 in 3 adolescents is a victim of some form of dating abuse from a partner. What can we do about it?

Journey Center for Safety and Healing envisions a community where safety and well-being are achieved by empowering people to find a path toward healthy, thriving relationships. We can support this work through donations of personal hygiene items, diapers and baby bibs and more through the month of October 2025. Shop for these items and bring them to the green donation bin on the first floor of the church, or shop their Amazon wish list to send them directly to the Center.
