Our purpose is to strive for a violence free life for the residents of Massac County by providing shelter, legal and medical advocacy, counseling, education, and support.
 
 
 
From the Program Director:
 
Thank you to everyone that bought tickets in our recent raffles. The winner of the Wii game system was Dalila Dominquez and the winner of the Xbox 360 game system was Kim Brown. We raised  $ 645.00 on both raffles. Paducah Blueprint and Supplies in Paducah donated both systems and we are very grateful for their help and support!
 
The winner of the all inclusive Predator Hockey tickets and a night at the Nashville Renaissance Hotel was Evan Walker. The Genesis Corporation of Paducah donated this package that gave us the opportunity to raise $520! We appreciate their support and generosity.
 
We only wish that everyone could have been a winner, but you are winners as your donation is allowing us to continue to provide all of our services free of charge to victims of domestic violence and their children.
 
Once Again THANK YOU!
Rita Gower, Program Director
