This is worth looking at. Domestic Violence can affect so many people in so many ways.

The items that are considered physical abuse might surprise you. They include breaking your things, trapping you and driving recklessly. How many of these have you/did you experience? https://carolineabbott.com/what-is-domestic-violence/

This is a great way to show support.

Did you know there is a way to support prevention programing efforts around the state of Virginia?

$15 from each “Peace Begins at Home” plate goes toward programs that help children learn about healthy relationships and other ways to stop violence before it starts.

Prevention is cost effective: Every dollar invested in prevention changes the lives of individuals and saves literally hundreds of dollars in the cost associated with future violence.

Visit www.dmv.virginia.gov to order your plate today!

BDVS staff had an amazing time at the National Night Out event with Bedford County Sheriff's Office VA. Thanks for coming out, visiting our table and making meaningful connections. We also had the privilege of having one of our Bedford Domestic Violence Coalition members with us to talk about how to support the program through donations and volunteering to be part of the coalition. Thank you to everyone who shared words of encouragement and support for the work we do.

When someone is experiencing domestic violence, having a safe place to turn can make all the difference.

Through Gleaning For The World's Helping Our Neighbors program, we are honored to partner with the Bedford Domestic Violence Services, an organization that provides emergency shelter, confidential counseling, advocacy, and compassionate support for individuals and families escaping domestic violence.

Their care extends beyond people. They also help ensure that beloved pets have a safe place while families are in the program, removing another barrier that can prevent someone from seeking help. More than providing temporary shelter, the Bedford Domestic Violence Center helps individuals rebuild their lives with dignity, independence, and hope for the future.

Gleaning is grateful to support this important work and to partner with organizations that are making a meaningful difference throughout Central Virginia. Thank you to everyone who supports Gleaning For The World. Your generosity allows us to come alongside ministries and nonprofits that are helping our neighbors when they need it most.
