Supporter Appreciation & Awards

Donor and Volunteer Appreciation Reception and Awards

Community support is vital for DOVE Center to be able to deliver life changing resources to survivors. We are grateful for generous donors and volunteers who provide acts of service and make financial contributions so we can be ready with safe shelter and trauma-informed care to help survivors of domestic abuse achieve empowerment, hope, and independence when a survivor reaches out.

We invite all of our donors and volunteers to join us annually, so we can share the impact your generosity has had on DOVE’s clients and express our gratitude for your loyal support. It’s also become our tradition to present the awards listed below at this gathering.
