Empowering families to live a life free from violence
Abigail’s Arms is a family crisis center serving Cooke County
with one mission: to help families live a life free from violence.
Every day, we provide safety, advocacy, and hope for survivors
of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Services:
- Emergency Shelter – Safe refuge, open 24/7, for individuals and families in crisis.
- Child Advocacy Center – A child-friendly space where young survivors can share their stories and receive the care they deserve.
- Victim Advocacy – Helping victims find support and guidance while gaining safety.
- Sexual Assault Interagency & Forensic Services (SAIF) – Compassionate, immediate response for survivors seeking medical exams and advocacy.
- Victim Outreach & Community Education (VOCE) – Support and education for local students in grades K-12th.
In the past year, your support has helped us:
- Provide shelter for 201 survivors escaping unsafe situations
- Provide 2,432 hours | 3,222 sessions of counseling for healing and recovery
- Serve 642 children through our Child Advocacy Center
Your Giving Day gift ensures that survivors have more than just safety — they have clean clothes for a job interview, warm bedding for their children, and the documents they need to rebuild their lives.
Together, we can give them the fresh start they deserve!
