Why Faith House Matters to Acadiana

Faith House provides help to domestic violence survivors. They have a shelter for domestic violence survivors and their children. They have also opened two Family Justice Centers, one in Lafayette and one in the central area of Louisiana. The centers facilitate collaboration with all local agencies in an effort to assist those needing their services. They also work on improving the response for those experiencing domestic violence.

The Realities of Domestic Violence in Louisiana

4 to 6 children in every classroom in Louisiana witness violence in their homes. 3 to 4 of these children are being abused and/or neglected.

When you visit stores to purchase your household items or place an order, any donation to Faith House will be greatly appreciated.
