“I grew up in a home where I witnessed domestic violence as a young child. Years later, my mother started volunteering at a local shelter leading group sessions for battered women. As an adult, I decided to follow in my mother’s footsteps and began to volunteer with Live Violence Free. I took the crisis intervention class and before long started to take calls on the crisis phone. I’ve answered crisis calls for many years now and the reward of helping these victims in their time of need is something I could not have imagined.”

Star Volunteer of the Month

One of the greatest gifts you can give is time. Lori McDaniel has been volunteering with Live Violence Free for a little over 3 years now. She has helped with events, fundraisers, and has provided direct services. Lori’s passion to help our clients and to give back to the community is admirable. She is a model H.E.A.R.T. volunteer.

“I care about Live Violence Free, the staff, and clients. It’s important to me that there is a safe place for people to go when they need help.” Lori
