Sojourner

Our mission is to transform lives impacted by family violence. 

Sojourner has been a pillar of peace for nearly 50 years. As the largest nonprofit provider of domestic violence prevention and intervention services in Wisconsin, we serve approximately 10,000 clients each year. 

Established in 1975, Sojourner provides an array of support aimed at helping families affected by domestic violence to achieve safety, justice and well-being. 

Our primary goals are to ensure the safety of victims of family violence and provide a pathway out of violence for victims and abusers through opportunities to make positive and lasting changes for themselves and their children.

Your gift matters. Because generous donors like you came forward and gave last year, Sojourner Family Peace Center was able to:

• Assist 4,618 victims with safety planning and filing a restraining order through our partnership with the Milwaukee County Family Court Commissioner’s Office (Restraining Order Clinic)
• Provide 13,314 nights of crisis shelter for 625 people fleeing violence
• Helped 1,040 individuals in crisis understand their options and plan for their safety
• Provide care and support for 442 children impacted by domestic violence

Stronger Together. 

Home is not always a safe place. Last year, the pandemic created urgent, new challenges for survivors. In a year filled with uncertainty and instability, Sojourner has remained an unshakable beacon of hope in our community. Together, we are #SojournerStrong. Thank you for your support.
