+ North Texas Road Warrior - Drive a new survivor to a domestic violence shelter 1 to 2 hours from the DFW area. Weekdays- daytime is most common.

INTERESTED YET? KEEP READING...

+ We arrange survivor pick-ups in a safe, public place - usually in or near Dallas. No contact with abusers!
+ Many of our survivors travel with children - We prepare car seats so you don't have to.
+ There are no out-of-pocket expenses for our volunteers - Families to Freedom provides for the vehicle (or use your own), fuel, food and other travel costs.
Drivers with weekday daytime are in high demand!!
