CONTACT Crisis Center 55th Anniversary Brunch Fundraiser

Please join us in making a difference by celebrating our milestone 55th birthday featuring keynote speaker Alys Smith, founder of the Woman Warrior Summit.

For 55 years, CONTACT has served people experiencing trauma. We started as a suicide hotline spearheaded by a group of churches in downtown Huntington. Today, we are a standalone rape crisis center that served over 900 survivors of sexual violence, sex trafficking, and stalking in 2024 across six counties in southwestern West Virginia.

We invite you to ensure those in crisis are never alone by attending our fundraiser. On June 7 at 10:30am, La Famiglia will cater a birthday party in the ballroom of Trinity Episcopal Church on 5th Ave in Huntington. Mimosas and a bagel bar await you – lox anyone? It will be a time of celebration and renewed commitment to our mission.

For half a century, an untold number of volunteers, board members, and donors have made this difficult work possible. In 2024, our advocates helped 949 victims (up from 828 in 2023), that number includes 359 children (up from 305 in 2023).

Sponsored by Simplicities and Marshall Health Network. Catering by La Famiglia.
