JADV is a grass-roots 501c(3) organization that has hosted an annual Holiday Toy & Gift Drive for domestic violence survivors since 2007. JADV has collected over 12,000 gifts for these families in need, and your support is very important to us!
One in four women and one in nine men experience severe intimate partner physical violence.
This equates to more than 10 million women and men per year (according to the National Coalition of Domestic Violence). During the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic violence statistics are surging, and your donations are greatly needed.

The JADV Toy and Gift Drive coordinates  with 211 and shelters in the South and Central Los Angeles area, including Project Peacemakers and other shelters in need. Unwrapped toys and gifts are distributed to survivors of domestic violence for their children ages newborn to 19 years old. We also collect gifts for the Moms. These women and their children are DV survivors in need. Most families have left everything behind starting over with nothing!
