Holiday Giving Drive 2025

This holiday season, you can give the greatest gift of all: hope for individuals and families escaping domestic violence. Women’s Advocates, the nation’s first domestic violence shelter founded in 1974, located right here in Minnesota, calls on you to join the Holiday Giving Drive to keep life-saving services open 24/7 for 50 victim-survivors and their children every day. Your donation sustains emergency shelter, crisis intervention, children’s healing programs, pet foster care, therapy, advocacy, and housing stability.

Join our four urgent drives by December 22 and transform lives with immediate, tangible support.
