Changing lives and empowering victims of domestic violence.
Wichita Family Crisis Center is thrilled to announce the completion of our NEW HOPE Capital Campaign! The campaign raised more than 7.2 million to purchase and renovate a new facility, which will open later in 2023.
Domestic violence shatters lives. Last year, Wichita Family Crisis Center provided crucial services for 2,000 survivors in the Wichita area to help them put together the pieces. Domestic violence doesn’t have to be the end of someone’s story.
We provide comprehensive services for victims of domestic violence and sexual exploitation. Our aim is to create safe communities by targeting the issues affecting residents and working to prevent future occurrences. Survivors are never alone.
Together we have the power to stamp out domestic violence, and help restore lives for countless victims across south-central Kansas.
We can’t do it alone. We need you to take action today.

We have had some amazing volunteer groups this month! Some of the tasks they completed were transitioning our clothing closet from Winter clothes to Spring, picking up our outdoor area and getting it ready for nice weather, and completely reorganizing our storage shed outside!
If your company, school, or community group would like to set up a volunteer group, please reach out to our Volunteer and Communications Manager Lauren via email!
