Programs we support
October Domestic Violence Awareness Month
About the Program: Every year The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence hosts the October Domestic Violence Awareness Month and every year WAFAA gets involved. Although each year has different events the message is still the same and our organization unites to help people become aware of tragedies that have happened and help prevent them from happening again.
Our Goals: Continue to create awareness about domestic violence around the northern New Jersey area
Emergency Women's Shelter
About the Program: Wayne County is shutting down an emergency women's shelter for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. We believe this is a critical and vital institution for women and children who are in desperate need of safety. WAFAA has met with Wayne County officials where we have discussed our issue and well underway of saving this building from demolition.
Our Goals: Save this building from being forgotten and get volunteers to help run this organization
Anger Management and Dating Violence Workshops
About the Program: We also have held anger management and dating violence workshops around the northern New Jersey area. In these workshops we provide a safe environment for victims who are in need of advice and assistance.
Our Goals: Reach out to organizations who need speakers for these issues and continue to help those in need
Food Donations
About the Program: Every Thursday we distribute food to the elderly and individuals with special needs as well as religious institutions.
Our Goals: Expand our current area of distribution and be able to help those just out of our reach
Thanksgiving & Christmas
About the Program: Every year we contribute our time and money to giving out free turkeys and gifts during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons to those in need.
Our Goals: Continuing to fundraise and supply others with turkeys and gifts every year
Partnership with Mustard Seed Communities

We have partnered with them by donating two of their most needed products, diapers and baby formula.
