 Impact: Stories of Hope, Change, and Empowerment

"At the American Family Center, every story is a testament to the power of resilience, community, and the belief that change is possible. Our mission to prevent harm and support victims of domestic violence is driven by real people and real lives transformed by the work we do together.”

Through our innovative programs like Choices Interactive and Wednesday Women’s Closet, we’ve witnessed firsthand how education, empowerment, and support can create lasting change. 

• Empowerment Through Prevention: “Our Choices Interactive program helps individuals make informed choices, fostering safer, healthier lives.”
• Support for Victims: “Through our “Wednesday’s Women” direct support program, we enable individuals to regain safety and stability, breaking free from cycles of abuse.”

Stories of Transformation

From Fear to Freedom

“I felt like I was trapped in a cycle I couldn’t escape until I happened to scroll-upon Choices Interactive. For the first time, I learned to recognize the dynamics of control and power in my relationship. That knowledge gave me the strength to make a different choice—to seek help and reclaim my life. Today, I’m no longer a victim. I’m a survivor.” — Jane, Choices Interactive Participant

Building a New Beginning 

“When I left the shelter, I had nothing but hope and determination. Wednesday Women’s Closet provided me with everything I needed to start over—clothes, a laptop to find a job, and even kitchen essentials to make my new place feel like home. The support I received didn’t just help me survive; it helped me build a life.” — Lisa, Wednesday Women’s Closet Beneficiary

Community in Action 

“Partnering with the American Family Center has been a rewarding experience for our restaurant. The Dine & Donate events bring our community together, and it’s incredible to see our patrons rally behind such a meaningful cause. Knowing that our business can make a difference in the lives of women in need is the most fulfilling part of our work.” — Local Restaurant Owner
