Center Against Sexual and Family Violence
with hope, become mighty.

Causes: Advocacy, Homelessness and Housing, Women's Issues

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is “You’re a Survivor.”

This theme honors the strength, courage, and resilience of those who have experienced domestic and sexual violence. It reminds survivors that their identity is not defined by abuse, but by the hope and healing 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.

What We Do

With your support, CASFV provides:

  • Emergency shelter for individuals and families escaping abuse

  • Counseling and support groups to help survivors heal from trauma

  • Advocacy for survivors

  • Children’s services

  • Prevention and education programs to stop cycle of violence

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:

  • Provide safe shelter to over 800 clients

  • Answer more than 6,300 hotline calls

  • Offer case management to 2,700+ non-residential clients

  • Help 1,300 survivors heal through therapy

  • Educate 46,000+ community members on awareness and prevention

Every gift, no matter the size, empowers survivors to reclaim their voices and their futures. When you give to CASFV, you affirm this year’s theme—You’re a Survivor—and ensure that hope and healing are always within reach.

El Paso, thank you for your continuous support!
