My firm has been a supporter of FVLC for years, recognizing the incredible work that they do. I have had the fortune of serving on the board for the past year and my admiration and respect for these amazing people has grown even more. FVLC provides a vital service to our community, with direct services to clients, as well as work educating the community, including work within schools. Their effective pivot to remote operations during this pandemic could serve as model to us all. I am so grateful our community has FVLC as a resource.

FVLC continues to serve our community and many communities in the East Bay in powerful ways. I appreciate that FVLC is responsive to crises and active in prevention and education efforts. The positive impact of Erin and the team have been especially evident during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite economic tumult and the impact of social distancing, the team continued its services in new and creative ways, all while the threat of domestic terrorism increased significantly.

FVLC is making a tremendous impact in empowering survivors of domestic violence. FVLC's youth dating violence education program is helping young people in Oakland to have a safe space to learn about healthy dating and communication. Great organization with wonderful staff committed to making a difference!

I have been privileged to be involved with FVLC for the past several years. They provide services to women at a critical point in their lives, when intervention and resources can make a world of difference. Domestic violence prevention and help is an area where there is a tremendous amount of need - and the staff at FVLC work above and beyond to provide services to thousands of women and children each year. The staff are a talented group, and I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone in need of assistance.
