HOW CAN I HELP ABW?

There are many ways you can help us help others:
  • with a financial donation—via check (made payable to Alternatives for Battered Women), or charge card (Master Card or Visa). Your gift is 100% tax-deductible (as long as no goods or services were received in return).

    You may also use our secure online form to make a donation.
OUR MAILING ADDRESS:

PO Box 39601
Rochester NY 14604
  • by donating items on our wish list – but please note that:
    • We do NOT accept off-season clothing (for example, winter coats in July) or dress clothing (work suits, evening wear)-our greatest need is for more casual clothing, plus items for children, especially teen boys.
    • Donations of items like socks and underwear MUST be new and in unopened packages, please. Please contact Sondra (contact info below).
  • by volunteering at ABW—you could help out one day a week, once a month, or even just once a year! Contact our Coordinator of Volunteer Services at (585)-232-5200, extension 234, for more details, or to schedule an appointment.
  • organize a community fundraiser with your Scout troop, church group, sorority, etc. to benefit ABW. Dances, walk-a-thons, bake sales-put your thinking caps on, come up with a great idea, have some fun, and best of all, raise money for a good cause!
  • name ABW in your will, or make another planned gift that benefits ABW. For more information about how you can make a gift while still enjoying benefits during your lifetime (e.g, a guaranteed interest rate and income), contact ABW’s Director of Development at the number listed below.
