Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Our mission is to transport victims of domestic abuse to safety. We provide transportation to shelter or reunite with family far away. Our vision is to create healthy communities by ending abuse across America.

  • Ride to Safety: Families to Freedom provides free car/van rides to arrive at secure domestic violence crisis centers, and rides to relocate to family or to housing far away. We have two Texas offices located in Dallas and Houston serving victims calling from a combined service area of 85 urban and rural counties. In 2023 we transported 912 victims and their 859 children for a total of 1,771 people. Our volunteers and staff embarked on 927 trips arriving to domestic violence shelters, plus 67 road-trips to a family home far away from the victim. Shelter arrivals usually only incur fuel costs while multi-state road trips incur a variety of travel costs (fuel + food + overnight lodging + vehicle maintenance + tolls).

    Expenses $360,302

  • Ticket to Ride: We provided sheltered survivors the means to relocate to family and friends by bus, Amtrak or commercial flight 50 times in 2023. In addition to purchasing a ticket for long-distance travel, we also provide a free ride to the bus depot or airport (bus tickets + commercial flight tickets + train tickets). For many of our clients we upgraded their luggage from trash bags to suitcases and travel bags donated from the community.

    Expenses $117,873

  • Fuel Assistance (fuel) is available for victims and new survivors who have a vehicle but can't afford the cost of gas to drive far away to family or friends for support after domestic violence or to shelter in another county. We gave 61 fuel cards to new survivors in 2023 who were able to get far away from their abusers. For many of our clients we also gave donated food gift cards to help survivors afford meals during their long journey.

    Expenses $44,917

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
