National Non-Profit Day
HAVEN has been providing services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in Stanislaus County since 1977. We are a non-profit and we rely on community support to continue to provide desperately needed services to our clients. Our name stands for Healthy Alternatives to Violent Environments. Our advocates are tireless, passionate, and dedicated to empowering the survivors that come through our doors seeking assistance.
Like many non-profits, HAVEN is suffering from the aftermath of COVID-19. In addition to this, some of our grants are ending and there were some that were not renewed.
Donations are not keeping up with the need.
We are not able to hire new staff and our existing staff is stretched thin as the demand for our services has increased.
Our motel program has been impacted by limited funding and our confidential shelter is full. There may be times when we are not able to find a place for them without a more robust motel program. Our clients need safe spaces to heal and to plan their next steps.
Our Legal and Advocacy Departments are buzzing with activity. These departments help with restraining orders, court accompaniment, peer counseling and support groups. Their waitlist is currently more than a week out.
In honor of National Non-Profit Day, we ask that you donate to HAVEN.
We need your help!
Here are some other ways you have help:
Sponsor and participate in one of our two fundraising events, Kick Up Your Heels and In Their Shoes.
Purchase some items from our Amazon Wish List.
Think about attending our victim advocate training so you can volunteer with us.
If you are an attorney, see if you can find time to offer your expertise to our clients.
