Season's Greetings!!

These days, we are putting on heavier coats and gloves before heading outside, turning our lights on earlier in the day, maybe enjoying roaring fires in our woodstoves to keep warm. This is a time for reflecting upon the year that is ending and for making plans and wishes for the upcoming year. 

We here at COMMUNITY ALTERNATIVES TO VIOLENCE are doing the same. 2020 has been full of ups and downs, twists and turns. We have leaned on each other and forged ahead with our mission. We have been able to transition to all online synchronous classes during the pandemic. We have increased our facilitation team this year with the addition of 5 new volunteer facilitators. We look forward in 2021 to resuming all our classes in person as soon as it is safe to do so. 

We are grateful for each and every one of you that has supported us over the last few years. Whether you came to a fundraising event, volunteered your time, or gave a donation, your generosity keeps us moving forward. Not only have you enabled us to continue our mission to end violence in homes, you have lifted us up with your support during this year of obstacles. 

As incidents of Domestic Violence continue to rise during the pandemic, it is more important than ever that we continue our work. As the need for our program spikes, you can help us be prepared to face whatever lies ahead. 

That is why I am writing to you today. You have helped so much good happen here at COMMUNITY ALTERNATIVES TO VIOLENCE. Thank you. We hope that you will continue your commitment to our program by making a generous gift today. Your gift today makes a big difference tomorrow and every day.
