Victims of abuse in your area need help arriving to crisis centers in the Deep East and Gulf Coast area. Be a hero to a domestic violence survivor by driving them to safety!
Families to Freedom transports victims of domestic abuse to safety. This means a ride to or from Conroe or the North Houston area driving survivors to a domestic violence shelter. You choose the distance you're willing to travel - whether across town or across the country.
There's a reason you saw this need today. Don't turn your back on those who need your help. This mission is important and only possible with YOU as our volunteer driver.
Details:
- Weekday daytime drives are in high demand!
- You can choose to accept or decline a drive - no pressure!

Mission Statement
Our mission is transport victims of domestic abuse to safety.
Description
Families to Freedom provides free transportation services to victims and their children who have experienced domestic abuse. We make it possible for victims and new survivors to get far away from abusive relationships. Our life-saving services include car rides to domestic violence shelters across the region, road trips to family homes in other states, multi-state bus tickets, and fuel assistance to relocate far away. We serve victims and new survivors across North Texas, East Texas, and the Gulf Coast area. We drive over 900 victims and children each year between two offices located in Dallas and Houston. We rely on the generous support of the community to continue providing these services at no cost to the victims who call us.
