ADVOCATES AGAINST FAMILY VIOLENCE knows that not everyone wants to get involved in the same way. Our agency is always seeking community members to volunteer in an array of different ways. Look below to see how you can help!

We will be thrilled to hear from you!

Make a Donation

Like many charitable organizations, AAFV depends upon the community for its growth and success. Volunteers aid in training, help with mailing out fliers, and assist at various functions. We also depend upon the Government for different cash grants and gifts available to organizations like ourselves. Cash and gift donations are often passed on through community groups and sometimes other charitable groups.

If you, or your groups representative, would like to assist AAFV in any way we would love the help. Cash and gift donations can have pickups arranged by any of our staff, please Contact Us and we will make arangements to meet with you.

The AAFV's Advocate Team Thanks You!
