What we do with your $
Where does your money go?
— Nearly every dollar of yours goes towards supporting Survivors of Domestic Violence, as our overhead costs solely consist of paying for our P.O.Box, the odd stamps and rare web page maintenance. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION, supporting Victims of Domestic Violence would not be possible without you!!
BED BUDDIES — providing beds, cribs and bedding for women/families leaving the shelter. Since 2019, FFF’s primary focus is to provide beds, bedding and a dining table with chairs to women / families moving into YWCA sponsored apartments, giving them basic dignity while they re-build their life free of abuse and danger.
TLAs (Temporary Living Apartments) — furniture and household items
CHRISTMAS GIFTS — coats, boots, gloves/scarves/hats, slippers, PJs, sweatsuits, underwear, blankets, duffle bags, hygiene items, stockings and toys
SEASONAL GIFTS — Valentines, Easter, Mother’s Day, Summer, Back to School, Halloween gifts, etc
EMERGENCY SURVIVOR SUPPORT — gift cards for food, gas, clothing, toiletries for families that transitioned out of the shelter, but have no sufficient income yet
ANGEL FUND — emergency psychological and/or legal counseling as well as crucial support (which may range from food, shelter, to clothing and other living expenses) for women with no other means and high integrity, unanimously agreed upon by the FFF Board
MONTHLY DINNERS and PIZZA PARTIES at the shelter
EMERGENCY SHELTER SUPPLIES — the shelter asks us to provide supplies when their budget is tight to provide diapers, hygiene items, wash cloths, towels and more
