Love Shouldn’t Hurt

Written By Kristen Haws

Love is more than a noun–it is a verb; It is more than a feeling–it is caring, sharing, helping, sacrificing.”

 -William Arthur Ward

Thanks to the generosity of our friends, donors and volunteers, The Center for Women and Families can continue to spread the message near and far that:

Love Shouldn’t Hurt

The Center for Women and Families has helped thousands of victims of intimate partner violence or sexual assault become survivors and rebuild their lives while standing on the principle that love should not hurt.

Let us continue working together to create a world free from violence. We know enough and care enough to get there.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

The Center for Women and Families helps victims of intimate partner abuse or sexual violence to become survivors through supportive services, community education and cooperative partnerships that foster hope, promote self-sufficiency and rebuild lives.
