Some of our youngest supporters made a big impact at our 5K Walk for Domestic Violence Awareness 💜
Teaching kids early about healthy relationships, respecting boundaries and speaking up for themselves and others is so important. These everyday lessons help them understand that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued and heard—and that love should never hurt.
Thank you to the parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles who brought the kids out to walk with us. You’re showing them what it means to care for others, stand together and support their community.
Those little feet are taking important steps toward a kinder, safer future. 💟
💜 We are incredibly grateful to once again recognize Amazon as the Presenting Sponsor of our 2026 Purple Walk!
Amazon’s generous support helped bring hundreds of community members together to raise awareness, stand alongside survivors of domestic violence, and support the vital programs and services provided by Child & Family Center.
Through partnerships like this, we can continue providing safety, advocacy, counseling, and hope to individuals and families when they need it most.
Thank you, Amazon, for your continued generosity, partnership, and commitment to building a stronger, safer community! 💜

Last month, our CORE Prevention team co-hosted two large backpack giveaways to kiddos in our community! We visited the Palmdale Aerospace Academy for a resource fair to hand out backpacks, provide prevention activities and information, and then, with the City of Santa Clarita, gave back-to-school items and backpacks to the kiddos at The Village Apartments.
Great job to our CORE teams!

What a meaningful and informative event! 💜 Unite Against Domestic Violence, co-hosted by Zonta and Child & Family Center, brought us together to talk about education, prevention, and awareness—and how we can all help build safer, healthier communities.
At Child & Family Center, we provide support, services, and shelter for people experiencing domestic violence. We also have a department dedicated to prevention and education, offering workshops, classes, and events in our local schools and throughout the community focused on healthy boundaries, relationships, and communication.
These conversations are especially important for our young people. Helping them understand respect, recognize unhealthy behaviors, and feel confident setting boundaries lays the foundation for healthier relationships throughout their lives.
There is no place for violence or abuse of any kind—physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, or financial. Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and respected.
Thank you to Zonta and everyone who joined us in keeping these important conversations going. Education and awareness can help prevent abuse before it begins. 💜
