Superstition Mountain Rotary Club member Ed Shockley recently delivered needed supplies to Community Alliance Against Family Abuse (CAAFA / A New Leaf) on behalf of the Club. Pictured is Dona Janssen, at 'CAAFA / A New Leaf' , 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.
The organization focuses on empowering individuals and families in the community to be free from abuse. 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. When seeing survivors had nowhere 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 assisted those most in need in our community, helping families, children, and adults overcome their challenges.
CAAFA is always in need of additional donations and financial support so they can provide needed support.
