Domestic Violence is not a new problem for our community, however the AAFV is trying to educate the community to be more aware of the problem. The Alliance is working to be more helpful for victims and their children. And striving to find a way to decrease the incidents in our community.
As the agency wishes we could share each individual story of the people we assist there would not be enough room. Instead we have to give you numbers to have an idea of the amount of great work we do.
