Big Daddy Dogs invites you to join us on Wednesday, January 20th and Thursday, January 21st for lunch or dinner to help support FVRC.

The Big Daddy Dog stand will be at its usual location both days at the old Ford Dealership on East Street but instead of just lunch, we will be out there from 11:00am until 6:00pm.

All proceeds from both days will go to FVRC. There will also be donations boxes for items from our Wish List.

RAIN UPDATE: The dog stand will be supporting FVRC again on Wednesday, Jan. 27!

FVRC, along with eight other Triangle non-profits, received the first annual GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Award. The $40,000 award was given in recognition of the organizations’ work and positive impact on the health of their local community.

“We are honored to receive the IMPACT Award not only because it is a recognition of our work, but it is the recognition of domestic violence as a serious health care issue facing our community,” said Kathy Hodges, FVRC Co-Executive Director. “Financially, the award could not have come at a better time.”

Unlike many grants, where money is given for a specific program or purpose, the IMPACT Award can be used wherever it is most needed by the organization. With 85% of FVRC’s yearly budget going into direct services, it is safe to say that a large portion of the award will be used to continue assisting our clients.
