Alternatives to Violence - Word of Thanks

**If you would like to donate to Alternatives to Violence, please donate here. Donations made after November 1 go toward Colorado Gives Day!**

We are privileged to be featured on “Word of Thanks” during Next with Kyle Clark on 9 News Denver! 

Alternatives to Violence provides shelter, advocacy, education and resources for people impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. Since 1982, Alternatives to Violence has offered survivors the opportunity to heal both emotionally and physically in a supportive environment. Each year, we provide emergency shelter, safety planning, advocacy, and referrals to local resources to over 1,600 people. In 2022, our SafeHouse was 100% occupied and we received 1,413 crisis calls. 

With your support and generosity, we can help even more people struggling to leave a life of abuse. Your donations make a life-changing difference in the lives of our clients. Funds help to give survivors the tools they need to thrive on their own.
