Help community members impacted by violence seek support and empowerment this February! Community Works provides advocacy, shelter, support groups, and housing for those impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking. They serve over 3,000 adults and children in person every year, in addition to 7,000 people on their crisis line. They provide wraparound supportive services including: safe housing, 24/7 crisis line, and outreach services with staff in 20 different locations in the community. Community Works brings hope, support, and empowerment to those impacted by violence.

Positive Change funds will be used to support the Dunn House Shelter, the only emergency shelter in Jackson County for those fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or sex trafficking. Over half of those staying in the Dunn House Shelter are children staying with their parent after they have fled abuse. Funds will be used to support their basic needs and provide items to promote self-sustainability for individuals and families to survive and thrive.
