How Can You Help?
Make a Financial Contribution
Every single dollar counts. Contribute now and make a huge impact in the lives of our families living free of abuse and thriving in their new communities.
Building Successful Partnerships
All year long, Barrier Free Living collaborates with individual volunteers, organizations and companies who support our mission working with survivors of domestic violence, and their families.
We are grateful for our holiday collaboration with The Church of the Holy Trinity in New York City which is gathering toy donations for the kids at our domestic violence shelter (photo below of their display).

Get Your Company to Volunteer
Hundreds of volunteers, from Morgan Stanley to Moody’s, drive our mission by providing volunteer hours and project dollars. Plant a garden, repaint a kid’s game room. Get involved. A few hours makes a tremendous difference in the lives of our shelter families.
