A Letter From The Executive Director
Cherokee County is a beautiful thriving community. We have wonderful friends
and neighbors who are a major part of what makes life so good.
Unfortunately, the statistics on Domestic Violence indicate that one third of
these cherished friends who are women will at some point be victims of
domestic violence. These are our daughters, our sisters, our mothers, our
neighbors and our co-workers. This fact, and the need to alleviate the
problems associated with domestic violence, is what prompted the founding of
the Cherokee Family Violence Center. We find these statistics unacceptable
and have worked since 1985 to bring about change here in our community and
throughout the state. During the past 23 years, CFVC has seen women of
every race and economic background come through our doors. We have worked
to help provide safety to these women and their children and to empower them
to envision a life that is free from violence. Won’t you join us in helping
to break this vicious cycle? Together we can help victims become survivors
and heal from the trauma of abuse. Together we can provide help. Together
we can provide hope. Together we can help them heal.
Meg Rogers
Executive Director
