Join The Second Step's Legacy Community
For over 30 years, The Second Step has been a leader in supporting survivors of domestic violence in our communities. Together, we have provided life-changing resources such as legal services, housing stabilization, safety planning, and educational workshops to thousands of individuals.
Yet, the demand for help continues to grow. Individuals facing intimate partner violence often find themselves without the critical resources and support they need to end the cycle of abuse and build a brighter, more secure future.
That’s why The Second Step stands with survivors, providing wraparound support as they take crucial steps toward safety, stability, healing, and hope.
After providing for your loved ones, we invite you to explore other ways to give, including leaving a gift in your Will, designating us as a beneficiary of a registered account, and more. Please consider joining The Second Step’s Legacy Community. Your generosity brings us closer to a world where domestic violence no longer exists.
When you’re ready to make your gift, please note the following information:
