💜 HEY, COMMUNITY — WE NEED YOUR HELP! 💜

Sometimes, making a difference looks like something as simple as a bottle of shampoo, a roll of toilet paper, or a gallon of laundry detergent.

Our office is looking for donations of everyday essentials to help support survivors and families in our community. These items may seem small, but when someone is facing a difficult or unexpected situation, having these basic necessities can make a HUGE difference.

We are in need of new and unopened:
🧴 Shampoo & conditioner
🧼 Body wash
🧴 Deodorant
🧻 Toilet paper
🧻 Paper towels
🧺 Laundry detergent

We are also accepting grocery gift cards and gas gift cards to help families with immediate needs.

💜 Have a little extra? Donate it.
💜 Own a business? Consider hosting a collection drive.
💜 Can't donate right now? Sharing this post helps too!

Every item and every dollar helps us provide practical support, dignity, and a little bit of relief to people in our community when they need it most.

Thank you for showing up for survivors and families in our community!

📍 Donations can be dropped off at our office during regular business hours 8am-4pm Monday-Friday. Please reach out to us if you have questions about donating at 320-762-1995.

If you’ve ever thought “It’s not abuse because they didn’t hit me,” please read this. 🛑

Abuse isn’t just physical. It can look like constant put-downs, controlling your money, pressuring or forcing s*x, isolating you from friends, or using religion/spirituality to shame and control.

And it often follows a pattern that keeps people stuck—calm, tension building, an incident, then apologies or “love-bombing”… until it happens again. That cycle is designed to maintain power, not create change.

You don’t have to sort this out alone. Advocates, domestic violence agencies, and Family Justice Centers can help you safety plan and understand your options—including legal support. 💜

Have you ever noticed how control can hide behind “concern” or “love”? Share what you wish more people understood (or share this to help someone who needs it). 🧩

Anyone can choose to perpetrate domestic violence, and anyone can be a victim — including men.

While domestic violence services in the United States are available to all victims and survivors, some men may believe that the abuse they experienced wasn't "real," or they may fear they won't be believed if they reach out for help.

Everyone deserves to be safe in their relationships, including men. Learn more in our FAQs about domestic violence: https://buff.ly/nG2VPu4

[Image description: Against a purple background, white text reads: "Frequently Asked Questions about Domestic Violence. Are men victims of domestic violence? Yes, anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, including men. The CDC estimates that millions of men are victimized by a partner during their lives. Some male victims fear they won’t be believed, or they may not know that resources, help, and support are available for them. Everyone deserves to be safe. Power, control, and violence impact all of us, and we all play a role in creating better, safer communities." NNEDV logo below.
