The Domestic Violence Center (DVC) of Santa Clarita Valley is accepting applications for Adopt-a-Family 2017.

The local non-profit is seeking community members who are looking to give back this holiday season by adopting one of DVC’s client families and provide them with a bit of cheer.

Whether as an individual, family, or company donor, this is a gift that gives back tenfold, both to a family in need and to you in the knowledge that you helped your community.

Christmas can be an added stress for families who are struggling with a new normal–a different home, a life without one parent, and relocating schools or jobs can all be frustrations of leaving an abusive situation.

By providing a holiday for them, you can relieve some of that burden, all while reminding them that they are not forgotten.

    What do I need to do for my family to get help. The past years has hit us the hardest an hearting braking time ever losing my sister to domestic violence. To losing my baby sister for 8 years an I now took on her 2 year old an I have a 12 year old. An do whatever I can for my sisters babies that past. I’m not the one to reach out for help but if any one can that would mean the world to the kids.

      This was posted a couple of months ago; apparently they have changed their website, so we have removed the link.
