We are so looking forward to our 7th Annual "Celebration of Hope!"  It will be good to be back together in person, which wasn't possible during the worst of the pandemic. 

We're excited to share with you the myriad ways we are "expanding hope" programmatically and with the expansion of our Center, nearly doubling our square footage.

The Family Justice Center continues to find ways to increase the safety of victims, children, and our community at large.  Thank you for caring so deeply.  We'll be happy to see you on Friday, November 4th!

Best Wishes,

Faith Whitmore, Executive Director

Kevin L. Smith, Board Chair and Chief Operating Officer, Kaiser Permanente, Roseville Area

EXPANDING HOPE HERE.

It is well documented that domestic violence has skyrocketed throughout the pandemic. As a result, demand for violence and abuse support services across Sacramento County has increased exponentially. In 2021, the SRFJC served over 6,100 victims - 39% more than 2020 and 200% more than 2019. Additionally, the SRFJC saw nearly 2,400 children in 2021- 103% more than 2019 and 58% more than 2020.

Once COVID-19 hit our region, the Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center leadership team anticipated there would be an increase in domestic violence, so we made the early decision to keep our doors open during the pandemic. The FJC has remained open for walk-in, pro bono wrap-around services from 8:30 to 5:00 Monday through Friday. COVID-19 or not, there is no replacement for in-person, face-to-face support for a victim in crisis.

To date, the FJC has never turned any victim away! That being said, our already stretched resources are at a breaking point to serve the growing number of domestic violence victims, elder abuse victims and children.
