On Friday, April 19, 2024, Albion Fellows Bacon Center will host An Evening of Hope to bring our community together as we raise awareness of sexual and domestic violence. The 2023 Gala raised over $50,000 to support our mission. We are reaching out to request your help with our silent and live auctions.

 
Thousands of individuals take the brave step to seek our services each year, and it is thanks, in part to individuals and businesses, like yours that we may continue to do so both free of charge and confidentially.  Additionally, our agency and staff do not discriminate based on gender, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or religion, and clients may include victims of stalking and human trafficking.  

In 2022, the following individuals took advantage of the programs and services provided by Albion Fellows Bacon Center: 
The Shelter Program provided 6,093 nights of safe shelter to 130 unduplicated adults and 68 unduplicated children. As an emergency shelter, individuals and their children may stay with us for up to 60 days. 
Calls to our two 24-hour crisis lines totaled 10,224; and 740 individuals were denied shelter due to the following reasons: homeless (no victimization), potential for harm, or over capacity. 
The Mobile Advocacy Program assisted 1,870 unduplicated primary and secondary clients throughout our eleven-county service area (Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer, Posey, Pike, Perry, Orange, Harrison, Gibson, Dubois, and Crawford). Of these clients, 764 unduplicated individuals had multiple victimizations.

With 300+ attendees anticipated at Bally’s Evansville, we hope you consider joining us and contributing to our live or silent auctions.  Know that all participating businesses and sponsors will be listed on Albion’s website, social media, and the evening’s digital presentation.  To donate, please respond to this email so that we may arrange pick up or mailing.

All proceeds will benefit the individuals that we serve daily, providing survivors of sexual and domestic violence with the opportunity to feel safe, respected, and heard. 

Thank you!
