Making a Difference

Donations

Domestic violence knows no bounds.

As a donor driven non-profit, we are proud to say that 100% of your contribution supports Big Hill Haven's operational expenses and capital funding.  This means every penny you donate will positively impact the health and welfare of our community. Domestic violence doesn't care what religion you are, or how old you may be, where you live or how much you make. It has no prejudice and is relentless in its pursuit. Together, we can and must work to provide those in our community with a safe and loving environment.

Proudly working within our community, we've had boots on the ground since 2018 and YOUR financial support has allowed us to be there for those who needed help most.  Current fundraising efforts are now focused on offering (in addition to outreach support), emergency and transitional housing options.

We know family violence and abuse occurs even here, in our own backyard. It is a global dilemma and a community issue that can only be solved if everyone gets involved and commits to making a difference.
