Thank You for Giving the Gift of Hope

Thank you for your gift of hope

Thank you to everyone who has given the gift of hope to survivors this year. Your generosity and kindness are truly appreciated by those who are seeking safety and support during a difficult time in their lives.

CAPSA offers essential resources for survivors of domestic abuse, providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals and families to heal and rebuild their lives. CAPSA offers a range of services, including temporary housing, counseling, and more.

Your generosity aides CAPSA in helping survivors

CAPSA requires a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers, as well as financial resources to cover the cost of operations. That’s where you come in. Your donations, whether monetary or in the form of necessary supplies, make a real difference in the lives of those seeking refuge here.

Your gift of hope is a reminder that there is help available, and that there are people who care and are willing to offer support. It gives survivors the strength and resilience they need to overcome their circumstances and move forward with their lives.

St. Nicks Shop

Because of your generosity, CAPSA is able to provide a St. Nicks Shop for our clients and their children where they can pick out toys for Christmas. Often times survivors are focused on the next step in front of them, and during the holidays we strive to provide as much magic as possible for survivors and their families.

So, thank you once again for your generosity and compassion. Your contribution is truly appreciated and will make a lasting impact on the lives of those seeking safety and support at CAPSA.
