Transportation for Victims of Abuse

Low income and financially controlled victims of abuse need help arriving to crisis centers outside of Houston. Be a hero to a survivor by driving them to safety! We help domestic abuse, family violence and sex trafficked adults from across the Gulf Coast region.

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 state, or beyond.

Volunteer safety is our #1 priority! This mission is important and only possible with YOU as our volunteer driver.

Some more info:

  • Weekday daytime availability is 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
  • Fuel is reimbursed monthly

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.
