Do you have a passion to help people? Do you feel called to make a difference? 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 across the Houston area to get victims to a domestic violence shelter or to a family home across the United States. You choose the distance you're willing to travel - whether across town or across the country - and Families to Freedom handles the rest.
Volunteer safety is our #1 priority! This mission is important and only possible with YOU as our volunteer driver.
Some more info:
- Weekday daytime drives are in high demand!
- You can choose to accept or decline a drive - no pressure!
- We arrange survivor pick-ups in a safe public place.
- Many of our survivors travel with children - we prepare car seats so you don't have to!
- Families to Freedom provides the vehicle (or use your own) and covers all travel costs!
- Training is conducted for our drivers in-person at our Houston office.

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.
