PorchLight, A Family Justice Center

PorchLight is collecting pantry items for our Thanksgiving Food Drive & new, unwrapped toys for our Winter Toy Drive to help ease that burden. For children who have experienced trauma, having food on the table and gifts to look forward to can help restore a sense hope. #fooddrive

Many in our community are terrified about the proposed budget cuts — not just to HUD, but across the board — and what they could mean for themselves and the 200,000+ Coloradans who rely on these programs to keep a roof over their heads. Survivors of domestic violence and their families could lose access to safe housing and life-saving services, forcing many to stay in unsafe situations or risk homelessness. Thank you Family Tree Inc for hosting us alongside Foothills Regional Housing, Metro West Housing Solutions, @porchlightfjc, @cocoalition & @firstdaofco to discuss the critical work supporting our communities. These organizations are already stretched thin, and cuts would make it even harder for people facing dire circumstances to get the support they need. We're fighting back because families deserve better.

In a hive, every bee plays a role. They work together with purpose, resilience, and instinctive care for one another. At PorchLight, it’s no different. Be part of the hive, be part of the hope. Every dollar counts. Click the link in our bio to join our Summer of Hope.

July is Disability Pride Month At PorchLight, we believe safety & healing, & should be accessible to everyone. We’re grateful for our incredible partners at @ArcJC & @DDRCCO for the vital work they do to advocate, empower, & support our shared mission. #DisabilityPrideMonth

By listening, learning, and speaking up, we create a community where survivors feel seen, supported, and safe. Swipe through to read more. Then tell us: What’s something you wish people knew? Drop it in the comments. ⬇️ #PorchLightFJC #SupportSurvivors #YouAreNotAlone

At PorchLight, we asked our team and partners: What’s one thing you wish more people understood about domestic violence? The answers were honest, powerful, and deeply human. Too often, misconceptions keep survivors from being believed, or from even reaching out at all.

When people are at risk, pets are at risk. That's why we allow our guests to bring their pets when they visit. This week, thanks to an amazing volunteer, we got our new pet waste station set-up outside! Check the link in our bio if you'd like to see ways you can help, too! #FJC

Understanding jurisdiction (who has the power to help) is key for DV survivors. Where abuse happened or where you live matters. Cross-state cases are complex, but help is out there. Visit DomesticShelters.org for more information. #PorchLightFJC #YouAreNotAlone #FJC

PorchLight thanks all of our community partners who showed up to support survivors of sexual assault by wearing their denim for Denim Day. Even Pearl the dog made an appearance! 🐶@familytreeinc @FAS_Shelter, @ArcJC, @JAMLAC_ORG, @zero_abuse #porchlightfjc #FJC #denimday #collab

This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we celebrate the individuals who make our mission possible. In 2024, our volunteers gave over 1,700 hours to support survivors and help us Be the Light in our community. If you are interested in volunteering, click on the link in our profile!

Today we honor the administrative professionals who are the heart of PorchLight. Behind every service offered, every schedule coordinated, & every guest welcomed with kindness, you’ll find their steady hands and compassionate spirit. We couldn’t do this without you! #fjc

Did you know that April is Child Abuse Prevention Month? If you would like to show your support and help bring awareness to such an important cause, you can visit our community partner organization, Ralston House at ralstonhouse.org/plantpinwheels to learn more!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month Did you know that in the U.S., someone is sexually assaulted every 73 seconds? If we don't acknowledge it, we can't change it. At PorchLight, we have connections in place to help you or your loved ones find hope and healing.

Domestic Violence Doesn’t Stay at Home, It Affects the Workplace Too. Did you know that DV can impact employee safety, productivity, & well-being? We can help businesses support employees experiencing DV by providing corporate trainings, individual safety planning, and guidance.

PorchLight staff was honored to meet with representatives from @RepPettersen’s office in DC today to discuss the importance of supporting #familyjusticecenters and #victimsofviolence.

PorchLight is heading to DC to meet with @RepPettersen, @SenatorBennet and @SenatorHick to advocate for Family Justice Centers, a survivor-centered framework for homicide prevention, crime reduction, and trauma recovery. Learn more: allianceforhope.com #FamilyJusticeCenter
