Our Commitment
Formerly River City Domestic Violence Center
For decades, victim services organizations operated quietly to protect the privacy and safety of survivors. While that discretion was necessary, it sometimes created distance and stigma. Some people hesitated to connect with us. Some survivors avoided reaching out because they feared being labeled.
Our rebrand is about changing that.
This isn’t just a new name—it’s a new chapter. It reflects our belief that support should feel welcoming, empowering, and rooted in hope. We are stepping forward with openness and strength, creating a space where survivors and communities feel invited, not defined by fear.
We chose a name that represents guidance, direction, and light along the way. With this new chapter, and with our community beside us, we begin building the next fifty years of service—together.
