About The Family Place
What We Do
The Family Place is the largest family violence service provider in the Dallas area reaching out to thousands of victims of family violence each year with award-winning programs that keep women and children safe.
For 30 years, The Family Place’s mission to end the epidemic of family violence has remained constant. We believe that intervention, emergency shelter, and crisis counseling for all victims—women, children and men—will save lives and that transitional housing and case management will transform lives for the better.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe that The Family Place’s annual budget has surpassed $7 million and that we provide over 150,000 service hours each year. But when families are in our care, we strive to meet all of their needs. Consider this: we feed over 50 kids every day, providing both meals and after-school snacks—that’s 18,250 after-school snacks a year. We also go through over 3,000 tubes of toothpaste and more than 3,600 bottles of shampoo each year.
We couldn’t meet this great need without help from the entire community. Few things have the power to change the shape of our world more than the act of giving. Through the collective generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations, we are able to fulfill our mission.Be a part of the solution to family violence.
