Our Goals
OUR GOALS
The goals of Citrus Heights Women’s Center are to:
- Help victims of domestic violence and their children become survivors
- Educate the community about domestic violence
- Help stop the cycle of domestic violence
We cannot meet these goals without the generous support of the community.
There are many ways you can help:
- Financially – We are a private, non-profit agency. Monetary help is always needed. Your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
- Become a volunteer – There are many areas in which we need volunteer help to meet the growing needs for victim services.
- Wish list donation – The Center has a “wish list” of critical items. Donations of these items directly assist victims in our community.
Please contact our office for a current list.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. We need your support to help stop the cycle of violence.
