About the Event

As survivors’ stories have dominated the headlines, more people have been empowered to come forward and seek our help. Today, after 40 years of supporting our neighbors experiencing abuse and homelessness, we’re serving more people than ever before—3,625 women, men, youth and children last year alone—in more ways to meet their increasingly complex needs with specialized, wraparound services. This year, we expect to serve 4,000. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help. Join us to celebrate 40 years of our collective impact and look forward to the next chapter.

  • Hear from organization leadership, including President and CEO Caroline Jones and Board Chair Joanne Petty, about what your support has accomplished, most recently through the Campaign for Brighter Futures
  • Listen as clients tell their stories to share how your support enables women, men, youth and children impacted by homelessness, domestic violence and sexual assault to transcend trauma and achieve safer, more stable and empowered futures
  • Learn what’s new at Doorways and how you can be part of the brighter future we continue to create together
  • Network with like-minded neighbors, professionals, community leaders and advocates
  • Commit to being part of our next chapter by offering your support (donations much appreciated but not required)
