We listened. We learned. We heard powerful stories.
At “An Insider’s View of Rachel Coalition,” our community came together around a shared belief:
Everyone has a role to play in ending domestic violence.
The morning offered a closer look at the work of Rachel Coalition, the domestic violence division of JFS, through powerful vignettes and the compelling story of a legal client. For those who joined us, it was an opportunity to see this work through a different lens. For those who couldn’t be there, the message is one worth sharing: we all have the power to make a difference.
And now, there is an opportunity to make twice the impact.
In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a generous donor has offered a $36,000 matching gift opportunity
to benefit Rachel Coalition. We are thrilled to share that over $24,000 has already been raised, and the opportunity continues!
If you were inspired by something you heard, something you learned, or simply by seeing the impact of
this work firsthand, now is the opportunity to make your gift go twice as far.
Gifts made to Rachel Coalition through the link below by Saturday, October 31,
will be matched dollar for dollar, up to the remaining match amount.

JFS & You – Caring For Our Community
Rachel Coalition, a division of JFS, provides services to assist victims of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and individuals living in high conflict relationships.
We improve the lives of those most affected by abuse – the victims, their children, and their families. Our domestic violence professionals provide guidance, support, and safe alternatives through counseling and legal services.
Domestic violence does not discriminate. It touches everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, religion, socioeconomic status, or education. Domestic violence affects us all.
Rachel Coalition helps hundreds of individuals each year.
We could not do it without support from the community. Help us help others.
