Founded in 2012, Voices Against Domestic Violence (VADV), a 501c3 nonprofit organization,

provides transitional services and support to victims of domestic violence in the Eastern

Panhandle of WV and surrounding areas. VADV connects victims and survivors to a network of

supportive people, resources, and other positive opportunities of growth, empowerment, and

motivation to aid in the successful transition to healthy lifestyles. VADV takes a holistic

approach in addressing the spiritual, emotional, physical, and tangible needs of those who

desperately require assistance.

VADV was established to put a voice to the silent and deadly epidemic of domestic violence in

our community. So often these victims suffer in silence and feel as though they have nowhere to turn. VADV has undertaken the commission to change the culture surrounding this “taboo”

subject and lead change to end domestic violence in our communities. 

VADV provides aid to victims of domestic violence facing food, shelter, and financial

insecurities.  We offer a safe space for planning, preparation and transition which results in at

least 75 percent of participants improving their ability to live self-sufficiently in an environment

free of violence and abuse.   VADV is fully donation and grant funded and our team is 100

percent volunteer.
