DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH Empowering Youth Through Joy & Healing (OCT)

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, PRESENT NOW is spotlighting the often-overlooked impact of domestic violence on children and teens. Our Presents Program is making a difference, one present at a time, providing youth with moments of comfort and healing. Join us in supporting the cause through our Purple Thursday campaigns, featuring partners like elysewalker, Boheme, LELUXE, and more.

October marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to the realities faced by millions of families. Often lost in these stories are the children who witness or endure the trauma of domestic violence. Studies show that children exposed to such violence are at risk for emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges, impacting their ability to thrive.

At PRESENT NOW, we are dedicated to easing this burden for youth in transitional domestic violence shelters. Our Presents Program offers more than just gifts; it delivers moments of joy, healing, and empowerment to youth overcoming the trauma of domestic violence. Each gift represents a step toward healing and resilience, helping to foster a brighter future.

We are proud to be part of the Purple Thursday movement, a national day of action during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Through shop and support campaigns featuring our partners— elysewalker, towne by elysewalker, Boheme, LELUXE, and Careste —we invite you to shop with a purpose. A portion of the proceeds from these retailers will be donated to help us ensure that every youth and family affected by domestic violence experiences the warmth of a supportive community, finds comfort in moments of joy, and is empowered to rebuild a future full of love and possibility.
