Changing lives and empowering victims of domestic violence.
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.

Everyone involved in the domestic violence movement is a hero! That is why Theresa’s Fund, DomesticShelters.org, and experts in the field have combined forces to develop and launch the first comprehensive awards program honoring the countless heroes of the domestic violence movement, including advocates, programs, shelters, survivors, and members of the community support system.
We all know it is not easy work. But helping victims, survivors, and their families- and the relentless pursuit to end domestic violence- is absolutely fulfilling and necessary work. We are thrilled to announce that one of Wichita Family Crisis Center’s very own has been nationally recognized by Theresa’s Fund and DomesticShelters.org for the 2022 Purple Ribbon Awards!
Khadija began volunteering with Wichita Family Crisis Center in Fall 2019 and has since served over 250 hours with our agency. We are so grateful for the number of hours she has poured into our agency ranging from admin paperwork, cleaning, assisting on our crisis hotline, special events, children’s activities, and outreach assistance. Khadija is always advocating for our agency and for victims of domestic violence through her constant connections to others in the community, and by her active recruiting of more volunteers with friends and co-workers. Khadija has a positive spirit, is very engaging, is a hard worker, and is the type of volunteer any agency is grateful to have.
We had a lot of fun surprising Khadija with the 2022 Purple Ribbon Award of Volunteer of the Year at a faux staff meeting last week!#pra2022 #purpleribbonawardA2022
