Did you know that LAAW has 22 staff members who operate nine programs and responded more than 8,200 times to over 6,200 victims of abuse with more than 5,900 children in 2005 alone?
We could not fulfill our goal of providing immediate services to victims of domestic violence without the generous support of individuals and corporations in our community. Your generous contribution will demonstrate that you are committed to helping break the cycle of violence in your community and connect you with others in your community who share your commitment to ending domestic violence.
Though any dollar amount is greatly appreciated and strengthens our response in the community; many opportunities are available to give on a variety of levels. Each level of giving comes with its own special benefits.
