Dear Community Members, Stakeholders and Collaborative Partners,

As the year draws to a close and the holiday season is upon us, we at A Way Out want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and partnership throughout 2024.

This year, your generosity and commitment have enabled us to provide essential services, advocacy, and hope for survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our community. Because of you, we have:

• Provided safety and stability to those in crisis through housing assistance and advocacy programs.
• Our counseling services expanded to support more individuals in their journey toward healing.
• Partnered with organizations to bring professional therapy to survivors dealing with lifelong trauma.
• Hosted prevention and awareness initiatives to educate and empower our community.
• Expanded our programs to reach underserved populations, ensuring equitable access to our services.
• Launched DEI-focused initiatives that honor the diverse experiences of survivors and amplify marginalized voices.
• Strengthened collaborations with community partners to promote inclusive advocacy and education.
• Provided critical resources and support to individuals and families navigating the impacts of trauma and violence.

These achievements would not have been possible without your compassion and dedication through a shared commitment to building a more inclusive and just community. Whether you contributed through donations, volunteered your time, or advocated for our cause, your efforts have made a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

As we celebrate this season of giving and reflection, we are reminded of the strength that comes from a community united in purpose. Together, we are creating a safer, more supportive environment where survivors can find the help and hope they deserve.

On behalf of the board, staff, and the individuals we serve, we wish you a joyful holiday and a New Year filled with peace, health, and happiness. We look forward to continuing our work together in 2025 to make an even greater impact.

Thank you for being a vital part of our journey and for standing with us as we strive to make a lasting impact.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Dr. David Hyde
Executive Director
