Thank you Lopez Island for your generous support of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services (DVSAS) during our mail-in fundraising campaign last month. Together you donated close to $3,000.

This amount helps us continue to offer a 24/7 crisis hotline, a staffed office on Lopez (2 days/week), personal advocacy to help survivors make informed decisions about medical care and reporting, legal advocacy, and support for therapy services. We are also able to continue prevention services through educational programs.

We are committed to speaking out for survivors of abuse. Some of our upcoming public events include marching in the 4th of July parade, creating a “Silent Witness” art installation for Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October), and organizing a child abuse prevention class for parents and caregivers. We welcome ideas on how we can better serve the island. Find us at www.dvsassanjuans.org.

With sincere appreciation,
