Families Living Violence Free in Need of Donations for the Holidays

/by

-Press Release, Families Living Violence Free

Families Living Violence Free in Oxford, giving voice and support to victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse through a myriad of programs and services, has a pressing need for donations this holiday season, Executive Director Wally Hurst disclosed today.

“At this time of year, there are always a high number of families and individuals in turmoil. This is especially true of victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. What for most of us is a joyful and loving time, the holiday season can be, for these victims, a time of isolation and terror instead. At these times, Families Living Violence Free wants to be ready to assist our clients in as many ways as possible,” Hurst said.

Items in short supply currently at FLVF include gift cards for gas and grocery stores, ready-eat foods, blankets and coats, laundry products, baby clothing and educational toys for babies, and gift certificates for local restaurants and services. Victims escaping violent behavior may present themselves at the very moment that they are escaping this volatile environment, and they may need immediate assistance with basic necessities, such a food, clothing, shelter and transportation, Hurst emphasized.

The services of FLVF are free to all and confidential. We seek to empower and support these victims on all levels.

Items may be donated in person at the FLVF office at 126 Oxford Outer Loop Road, 2d Floor, in Oxford, or mailed to FLVF, P.O. Box 1362, Oxford, NC 27565. Please call our office at 919-693-3579 if you need donations picked up, and we will do our best to accommodate all donors.

Thank you to the Granville County community in advance for your continued generosity!
