Domestic Violence Resource Center - formerly CAAW

A heartfelt thank you to Sierra Homebuyers for their incredibly generous donation of a large collection of new essential household items for the survivors we serve. Contributions, including pillows, pots and pans, snacks, towels, and other everyday necessities, help provide comfort and support during times of transition.

Gifts like these make a meaningful difference by helping create welcoming spaces and ensuring individuals have access to items many of us rely on each day. We are truly grateful for your kindness and for showing such thoughtful care for members of our community. 💜

Metcalf Builders celebrated their annual Clay Shoot fundraiser on April 18. This event brought together shooting sports enthusiasts and community supporters for a fun, meaningful experience on the range.

This year, Metcalf Builders selected the Domestic Violence Resource Center and Western Nevada College, providing $30,000 to each organization!

Thank you to all of the participants, and especially Metcalf Builders, for raising funds for critical services. We are grateful for the support and for an unforgettable day. 🩵

Today, we proudly honored Felicia O'Carroll at the 2026 Salute to Women of Achievement Luncheon hosted by Nevada Women's Fund as she was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Felicia has been on the Domestic Violence Resource Center Board of Directors since 2020. Her leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our community reaches far beyond our organization, and we are incredibly grateful for the passion and dedication she brings to supporting survivors and strengthening our community.

Congratulations, Felicia, on this well-deserved honor! We are inspired every day by your example. 💜

Our team recently spent time together at a candle-making workshop, enjoying a creative afternoon to connect, recharge, and reflect. Opportunities like this allow staff to step away from their daily responsibilities, strengthen relationships, and return feeling refreshed and inspired.

The work of supporting survivors requires compassion, focus, and resilience, and taking time to care for our team helps sustain the thoughtful, client-centered approach that is at the heart of everything we do.

We are grateful for moments that allow us to build connection, creativity, and a little calm along the way. ✨

This Mother’s Day, survivors in our program were reminded that their strength, resilience, and wellbeing matter. 💜

A heartfelt thank you to the local Mary Kay consultants who thoughtfully assembled and donated Mother’s Day bags filled with self-care items for the women we serve. These simple acts of kindness brought comfort, encouragement, and a little extra care to survivors and mothers in our community.

Thank you for helping our clients feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

We are honored to share that the Domestic Violence Resource Center has received a national recognition, the 2026 Purple Ribbon Award for Outstanding Local Organization 💜

We are one of only three organizations across the country to receive this award in our category!

The Purple Ribbon Awards were created by DomesticShelters.org, Alliance for HOPE, and leaders in the domestic violence movement to celebrate the incredible “hopegivers” working every day to support survivors. These advocates, programs, shelters, volunteers, and community partners make healing and safety possible.

This award belongs to our entire community...our dedicated staff, volunteers, partners, and the courageous survivors we have the privilege to serve. Thank you for being part of this work and for helping us continue to build safer, healthier futures.

It’s hard to believe it’s almost been one year since DVRC transitioned into our temporary facility at 1301 Cordone Ave., Ste. 180.

This space has allowed us to continue providing advocacy, counseling, and support to survivors of domestic violence and their children in our community. Our services remain available 24/7 for anyone in need of safety planning or support.

While this location is temporary, our work continues every day as we move closer to opening our new shelter and resource center.

Thank you to our community for standing with survivors. 💜

Thank you to Charles River Laboratories for donating 50 Kynd Kits to DVRC. 💜

These kits were assembled by employee volunteers and include toiletries, self-care items, and snacks to support survivors of domestic violence.

We’re grateful for partners like Charles River Laboratories who help provide comfort and care to survivors when they need it most.

💜 GO PURPLE for National Crime Victims’ Rights Week 💜

April 19–25, we stand with survivors and honor the strength it takes to seek safety, healing, and justice. Wearing purple helps raise awareness and reminds survivors they are not alone. While this week brings special focus, supporting survivors is something we remain committed to every day, all year long.

At the Domestic Violence Resource Center, we provide advocacy, counseling, emergency shelter, and resources that help survivors and their children find support, regain confidence, and pursue new possibilities.

Join us in showing support for victims of crime and helping create a community grounded in dignity, respect, and compassion.

When someone is experiencing a mental health or substance-related crisis, timing and connection matter.

The Crisis Care Center offers individuals immediate, short-term crisis stabilization in a safe, therapeutic setting designed as an alternative to emergency rooms. The Crisis Care Center provides 24/7 assessment, observation, and care and helps connect people to next steps instead of letting them leave without support.

We are working with the Center to reduce barriers, strengthen coordination between health care and advocacy, and ensure people are met with dignity, care, and real options in moments that matter.

This is what community collaboration looks like. 💜
