“Never has “strength in numbers” been more essential than in stopping domestic violence. Since opening in 2009, the Montgomery County Family Justice Center has helped more than 8,000 victims and their families become survivors. We hope you will join the Family Justice Center Foundation in our ongoing mission to help make possible the vital work of the Center, Montgomery County’s one-stop for over two dozen fee-free, potentially life-saving services under one roof,” said Resa Levy, Executive Director.
