I have to admit, this blog is going to be short and sweet because we are so busy with the Christmas Basket Drive! We partner with Northeast Community Fund each year to provide food, toys, hats and gloves to families in need. This year, we are preparing over 350 baskets!!! This morning agencies picked up baskets for their clients and today we are filling the rest of the baskets in preparation for deliveries tomorrow. It has been a busy and crazy week, but so worth it. From all of us at Dove, Merry Christmas!!! I'm headed back to "grand central station" to work on the baskets some more!
Have you ever had a victim of domestic violence try and open-up to you about their abuse and you not know what to say or how to handle it? Have you found yourself asking a victim of domestic violence, “why do you stay?” Moultrie County Dove Office understands that without being properly trained on domestic violence and best domestic violence practices, it is hard to know what to say or do when a victim of domestic violence finally decides to open-up to you about their abuse and we want you to be better prepared.

Statistics show that a victim of domestic violence is at a 75%
