The gaps in healing,
filled with care.
Survivor Needs lets survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence anonymously request the practical things that make healing possible — groceries, a ride, clothing for court, therapy, legal help, and more. Our community shows up.

How it works
Three quiet steps. No forms to perform for.
Verify, privately
A short, trauma-informed intake confirms you're a survivor. Your identity is never shared with the community.
Request what you need
Pick from groceries, rides, court clothing, therapy, legal, or describe something else. You set the details.
Receive with dignity
Material items arrive at one of our partner facilities for safe, anonymous pickup. Services connect through us.
What you can ask for
If it fills a gap, it belongs here.
