We are partnering with Verizon Wireless for their HopeLine project by collecting cell phones at our administrative office and at the Benefit Lunch.

Last year in Washington State, more than 500 HopeLine phones were distributed to domestic violence survivors. Also, $90,000 in grants were awarded to agencies devoted to assistance, education and prevention. This is an easy and impactful way to participate!

Domestic violence is not just a personal issue. Its effects spill out into our entire community, including the workplace, resulting in lost productivity and the very real danger of violence on the job. The Family Violence Prevention Fund has said it best: It is crucial that domestic abuse be seen as a serious, recognizable, and preventable problem like thousands of other workplace health and safety issues that affect a business and its bottomline.
