Superstition Mountain Rotary Club member Ed Shockley recently delivered a donation of needed supplies to 'Community Alliance Against Family Abuse' (CAAFA) on behalf of the Club. Pictured is Jacob Black, volunteer at CAAFA, who accepted the donations for the organization. Founded in 1998, CAAFA is the first and only non-profit sexual and domestic abuse service provider in Northern Pinal County. Community members founded CAAFA in Apache Junction when they learned that local victims of domestic violence and their children were living in their cars and out in the desert. Seeing that survivors had no where else to go, they created the shelter and support services that help 470 survivors annually. Survivors can find help with the 16-bed emergency shelter, support groups, legal advocacy, case management, sexual assault victim advocacy, food boxes, community outreach services, and more.
In 2021, CAAFA merged with the non-profit, 'A New Leaf'. Since 1971, 'A New Leaf' has provided assistance to those most in need in our community, helping families, children, and adults overcome the challenges they face.
CAAFA is always in need of additional donations and financial support so they can provide needed support. For more info about how you can get involved or donate - https://turnanewleaf.org/services/sexual-and-domestic-violence-services/caafa/
