The "Empowerment Walk" concept is Team Avalon's way of making sure that survivors of abuse are accompanied on their path to independence every step of the way. From shelter intake to successful transition into her own permanent housing, Avalon works with a woman--equipping her with community resources, life skills courses, and emotional well-being.
 
Your time, talent, and treasure help pave the way for the "Empowerment Walk". We hope you'll continue to build the path with us by volunteering, joining us at our many events or making a tax-deductible contribution.
