  5. United Family Services • Our first selected charity • Mission – to provide hope and solutions for people in crisis • Vision – to provide support and resources to create a better future for families and individuals who are victims of interpersonal violence or trauma

  6. About United Family Services – Highlights • New Shelter - Building a new shelter in Mecklenburg County for women and children who are victims of domestic violence • Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Services – In Mecklenburg, Union and Cabarrus counties • Tree House Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) - Program focusing on children who are victims of sexual assault and other violence • Prevention – Education and awareness of domestic violence to help prevent further violence and victimization

  7. Why United Family Services • The idea for Community Matters began at a UFS fundraising event – a few insurance people thought we might be able to band together to help make a difference at UFS • It is a local charity that focuses on the needs of women and children in crisis • We were struck by the fact that the shelter in Charlotte was smaller than the shelters in Monroe, Concord and other smaller communities • To stop the cycle of domestic violence, we must do something much larger and more effective than what is available today
