Special thanks to everyone who donated on #GivingTuesdayNow! With your support, we exceeded our goal of $5,000, raising more than $6,000 online!
If you didn't get a chance to give on Tuesday, we still need you. As crisis adaptationsโlike moving our Safehouse clients into hotelsโbecome Doorways' status quo for the foreseeable future, your support remains critical to sustaining our ongoing response.
Doorways' programs and services are even more critical during this crisis, when abuse is likely to increase, and many are struggling to make ends meet. You ensure we are able to respond to our current clients, and to anyone seeking our support, 24/7.
