Although it is difficult to imagine what victims of violent crime or horrible accidents go through, since 1972 the Victim Assistance Program has been dedicated to assure that no victim is alone. Their advocacy efforts are ministered on a variety of levels through:

Pro-active crisis intervention to stabilize and provide compassionate aid.

Education and advocacy throughout the criminal justice system.
A collaborative continuum of care via appropriate referrals to community agencies/resources.
Community and professional education focused on victim issues, needs and service.



RECENT & UPCOMING EVENTS:

 

Mardi Gras 2009:


A big thank you to our friends for making Mardi Gras 2009 an overwhelming success.  Everyone had a great time “shopping” at our live and silent auctions.  Tom Brandt held the winning key to open our Treasure Box containing two AirTran tickets and many other surprises.  Guests enjoyed dancing to Logan Wells and Tim Tucker and Todaro’s Party Center treated guests to a delicious New Orleans’ style dinner.

A special thanks to our generous sponsors who were instrumental in helping to achieve our goals.  Please take a minute to look over the sponsors listed below.  These special friends enable VAP continue to provide comprehensive, confidential and free services for all crime victims to meet needs resulting from their victimization.

A special thanks to Co-Chair Sylvia Trundle and the entire Mardi Gras committee and staff for creating an outstanding evening.  Please mark your calendars now for our 18th Annual Mardi Gras Celebration on Saturday, March 6, 2010!
