What is Liberty House?
Liberty House, established in 1981, is a non-profit agency in Dougherty County that provides comprehensive services for domestic violence victims, their children, families, and friends. Liberty House also provides referral information to perpetrators of domestic violence. It is the philosophy of Liberty House that domestic violence is not a private problem, but one that must be recognized and responded to by the entire community. Liberty House is committed to working collaboratively with the community to raise awareness, strengthen policies and improve coordination to support survivors and end violence. Liberty House is funded by federal and state grants, United Way, foundations, churches, and private contributors.
Volunteers are a vital component in the accomplishments of Liberty Houses' work. They assist in everything from yard work and bulk mailing to crisis line counseling and fundraising events. Any amount of time or service offered is important. Giving just 1 hour of your time can make a huge difference.
