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.

We believe that everyone should feel safe in their own home.  We believe love shouldn't hurt.  Because we are close to LSS CHOICES, we have the chance to see firsthand how much this lifesaving program helps the victims and their children heal from the harm of all types of abuse.  Unfortunately, the crime of domestic violence is VERY prevelent and does not disciminate against race, gender or soci-economic status. 

The statistics are astonishing! 

• 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.
• Every 9 seconds a woman is abused
• 3 women are killed every day by their current or former husband or boyfriend.

We joined Team CHOICES to support victims of domestic violence—and their children. The funds we raise will be used to provide victims with a safe place to go and the care and support they need to transform into survivors and create a safer future, free from violence.  Because everyone deserves to feel safe and loved in their own home!

Please join us by making a heartfelt gift today to support LSS CHOICES and those they serve. Together, we can help break the cycle of domestic violence! 

Thank you for your consideration, 

Michele & Pat Cenci
