    Description

    Help Abuse Victims By Driving!

    It takes a lot to leave an abuser -- Courage. Planning. Resources. Help.

    We get calls for service everyday from survivors trying to restart life after violence, but we need more volunteer drivers to keep up with the demand. We need an awesome person like you!

    Assist victims making their break from abuser by driving them to safety! You choose the distance you're willing to travel - whether across town or across the country - and Families to Freedom handles the rest. You just need to be 21+, have a good driving record, pass a background check, and a heart to help.

    We ONLY allow our volunteers to pick-up survivors in a safe public place such as a retail store, shelter, hospital, hotel lobby or police station. Volunteer safety is our #1 priority. There is no contact with an abuser.

    Transporting a survivor traveling with children? We prepare the car seat for you. Worried about the cost of gas, tolls, food and lodging? We pay it. Don't want to use your personal car? Use one of ours. Not sure you'll be up for a trip when one comes along? Decline any drive you wish with no pressure from us. Weekday daytime availability is most needed!

    Start the process at FamiliestoFreedom.org/Volunteer.php

    For more details or answers to specific questions call us at 972-885-7020. Orientation and training can be conducted remotely over video, or in our Dallas office.
