October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this year’s theme: Change the Track, End Violence — carries that mission forward in the spirit we’ve built our campaigns around. Every survivor’s story has a track that abuse tried to write for them. This theme is about the power to change that track: to skip past the chapters defined by fear and silence, and move toward a new rhythm built on safety, strength, and healing. It reminds survivors that their identity is not defined by abuse, but by the hope and resilience they carry forward. It also calls on our community to stand alongside survivors—ensuring they are seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
The Center Against Sexual and Family Violence (CASFV) is dedicated to making sure survivors in El Paso, Hudspeth, and Culberson Counties have access to the resources they need to find safety and rebuild their lives. For more than 45 years, CASFV has provided free and confidential services to people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.

Why Your Support Matters
Your donation during El Paso Giving Day is more than financial—it’s a declaration that survivors are not alone. It means:
A survivor has a safe place to stay when leaving abuse A child learns that healing is possible after trauma Survivors gain advocates to walk with them through the legal process Our community becomes stronger and more aware of how to prevent violence
The Impact of Your Generosity
Because of compassionate donors like you, last year CASFV was able to:

Every gift, no matter the size, gives a survivor the chance to change the track—to move from surviving to thriving, and to reclaim a story that’s theirs alone to write. When you give to CASFV this Domestic Violence Awareness Month, you affirm this year’s theme, Change the Track: End Violence, and ensure that hope and healing are always within reach.
El Paso, thank you for your continuous support!
