According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence, the need for support services remains urgent: on a single day—September 4, 2024—more than 79,000 domestic violence victims and survivors across the United States received services from local programs. This one‑day snapshot underscores the scale of the crisis and the essential role of community-based organizations.

Bay Area Service League proudly supports our Caring Kits philanthropic program partners, including Bay Area Turning Point, The Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Inc., Jerry Garcia, Harris County Constable Precinct 2, Houston Methodist Clear Lake Hospital, La Porte Police Department, League City Police Department, and UTMB Health in Galveston.

When adults and children undergo forensic examinations after an assault, they must surrender their clothing for evidentiary purposes. Our Caring Kits—containing clothing, undergarments, flip‑flops, and a hygiene kit—ensure they leave with dignity, comfort, and the reassurance that their community stands with them.

For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, our committee members assembled and delivered 401 Caring Kits to partner facilities, extending compassion and practical support to survivors when they need it most.
