The Starfish Award is given to an individual who practices the art of caring in the Domestic Violence arena. The Courage Award recognizes a survivor who has demonstrated courage to escape her abuser and create a healthy life. The Generosity of Spirit Award is given to an individual or business for having a significant impact on domestic violence through their true passion to help victims. The Community Angel Award will be given to an individual that has given selflessly and tirelessly to the arena of Domestic Violence. The Excellence in Advocacy Award is awarded to a victim advocate that goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Family violence continues to be a major problem in Texas. Nearly 200,000 Texans were beaten by their intimate partners in 2023. 74% of all Texans either know someone who has been a victim of domestic violence or have been victims themselves.

During the OVAG grant period from September 2023 to August 2024, Angels of Love provided direct services to 239 victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking. Additionally, we reached 9,430 individuals through our extensive outreach efforts, which included youth programs, parenting classes, financial literacy workshops, and public presentations. This impactful work reflects our commitment to supporting and empowering those affected by abuse and educating the community to prevent future violence. We are seeking your help to assist Angels of Love in providing services, solutions and access to justice and advocacy to those who need them the most. Become a sponsor today, and ensure no woman or child faces these issues alone.
