As we move into 2026, many people are looking for meaningful ways to get involved in their community. There are many powerful opportunities to make a difference throughout the year, whether by attending community events, volunteering your time, or making a donation that supports individuals and families in crisis across the Kansas City area.
We work every day to create a community free from family violence by providing safety, healing, and prevention services. Your involvement in 2026 helps ensure these life-changing programs remain available to those who need them most.
Attend an Event
One of the most engaging ways to support us is by attending one of our signature fundraising events. These events not only raise critical funds but also bring the community together to celebrate resilience, creativity, and compassion, all while learning more about our programs and services.
