Creating a community free of domestic violence requires continual information sharing and dialogue. Stay connected with us through the information resources on this page and – please – share what you learn.
The average family in crisis is a mother with two children who stay at the Marjaree Mason Center for 34 days. At any given time, 60% of those staying in our safe house are children. At MMC, we devote a lot of our time to helping and healing families.
This Mother's Day, we humbly ask you celebrate the moms at MMC, too. Here is a list of ways you can give back to us while also celebrating the moms in your life.
For the Month of October:
Deli Delicious Downtown & Rita’s Custard Happiness

Everyone deserves a safe place to call home, especially during the holidays. This holiday season, MMC will support hundreds of families as they navigate one of the most stressful times in their lives. You can help us support them, too. Here are a few ways you can give back this year to make the holidays special for families in need:
The Marjaree Mason Center is marking the 30th annual occurrence of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) this October with a number of events and social media campaigns you can support to get involved and break the silence surrounding domestic violence.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month was created by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and began as an occasion titled “Day of Unity” which was held in October 1981. The Day of Unity soon grew into a week and in October 1987, the first National Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed.
“Domestic violence continues to be an unspoken epidemic in our society,” said MMC Executive Director Nicole Linder. “By participating in Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are pulling back the curtain and saying abuse is never OK.”
