Each year ABWP does a Christmas Toy Drive and over the Holiday, ABWP's generous members participated in a fundraiser to send a cash donation as well as toys and clothing items to the children of Jenesse Center in Los Angeles.

Founded in 1980, the Jenesse Center is a nonprofit domestic violence intervention and prevention organization with a resolute mission: to restore, and provide trauma informed, culturally responsive, holistic, comprehensive services to survivors and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence, and to advance prevention modalities to sustain healthy and safe communities free of violence. Jenesse works locally, nationally and globally to shine a light on violence against women, girls, men and boys and advocates the basic human right for all people to have peace in their homes and relationships. Jenesse’s culturally sensitive programs and services not only transition families from crisis to self-sufficiency, but transforms the lives of its clients and the community at large by offering education, referrals and resources that go beyond shelter.

To support these community outreach initiatives, please consider making a donation to ABWP (here), or to give directly to the Jenesse Center (click here).

We appreciate your generosity and continued support.
