For victims of domestic violence, asking for help can be one of the most difficult steps to take. Fear, uncertainty, and shame can be overwhelming. But if victims are aware of their options they may be more willing to get the help they need.  There is HOPE.    

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month so I decided to serve as a Choose Hope Champion. It’s one way that I can support victims of domestic violence—and their children. The funds I raise as a Choose Hope Champion will be used to provide victims with a safe place to go and the care and support they need to create a safer future, free from violence.

You can Choose Hope by making a gift today to support LSS CHOICES and those they serve. Together, we can help break the cycle of domestic violence!

At LSS CHOICES, we rely on the generosity, kindness and compassion of donors to make our services possible. Throughout October, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are excited to present Choose Hope, a fundraising campaign that includes a 30-minute special that aired on October 8 on 10TV.

You can Choose Hope by donating today! Your gift will support our important work at LSS CHOICES and help transform victims of domestic violence into survivors. You can also join our team of volunteer fundraisers! Click on "Fundraise" at the top of the page to get started now. 

When you Choose Hope, you give victims hope for safety, hope for peace, hope for healing, and hope for a better future. Thank you for choosing hope!

LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, Franklin County’s only domestic violence focused shelter, offers victims and their children a safe place to go to break the cycle of domestic violence and begin the healing process. Our 24-hour crisis hotline, legal and community advocates, counseling, peer support groups, and other critical services help victims leave behind abusive relationships and create a safer future for themselves and their loved ones.
