November 13th
12:00am to 11:59pm
Supporters of ADV can go online, connect with us and make a donation all from the comforts of where ever you are and whatever you do, even if it's from home in your pajamas.  Search for Alternatives to Domestic Violence through the Give BIG Riverside site, through our Facebook page or right here on our website.  All you have to do is click on donate and your donation stays local and helps us provide needed services in the City of Riverside.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! There's prize money at the end of the day to the top six organizations ($500 to $5,000). There will be random drawings throughout the day providing additional awards to the nonprofits.

 
ADV needs your support so that we can continue assisting families who are in similar situations.  This is not an uncommon story of family abuse and fortunately through a variety of programs we were able to help this mom and her teenage boys form healthier relationships, learn boundaries, coping skills, safety management and so much more.
 
Thank you for your generous gift.  There is no amount that is too small or too large, it all cumulatively adds up to changed lives.
