Help Us Fundraise on Behalf of REACH Beyond Domestic Violence!
For more than 40 years, REACH Beyond Domestic Violence has empowered individuals, families, and communities to overcome domestic violence – because we all deserve safe, healthy relationships. Started in 1981 as an all-volunteer run shelter and hotline, it has grown into a full-service agency serving more than 6,000 people each year in 27 communities in the Metrowest area of Massachusetts. REACH supports abuse survivors on every step of their journey, and works in schools and communities to foster healthy relationships and prevent future violence. A range of services are offered to survivors of domestic violence, including a 24-hour hotline, support groups, additional programming that facilitates multiple pathways to healing, and an emergency shelter designed to provide immediate safety, meet the needs of victims, and help them gain independence.

Description
Did you know that on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States?
We are proud to be running the Falmouth Road Race and raising funds in support of REACH Beyond Domestic Violence. REACH works with survivors of domestic violence to foster safety and support while engaging communities to promote healthy relationships.
At what point does a connection become a breakthrough? At what point does a change in perspective become a life changed?
It all happens at the point when you discover hope. The staff at REACH Beyond Domestic Violence work every day to embody and inspire hope. REACH is a place where dedication defines the work and community lives at the heart of everything they do. A place where education and advocacy are foundational to building safe, supportive, inclusive relationships. A place for healing and growth.
Through their emergency shelter program, community-based education and advocacy programs, child and adolescent therapy, and other services, they provide immediate, trauma-informed services for survivors of domestic violence, advocating for them as they reclaim their lives and independence. They prevent future abuse through community education on healthy relationships as we strive to change social norms and systems of oppression.
Safety, optimism, support, hope — it’s all within REACH.
Please help us raise my goal of $1,500 to provide critical support for survivors of domestic abuse.
