Domestic Violence Speaking and Training
Although we currently do not require fees for our speaking services (except for travel expenses), we encourage tax-deductible donations to ARMS. This assists in continuing services to people affected by domestic violence in our communities. We suggest the amount of $100 per hour and you may donate here or supply a check when we visit you. Thank you for your support!
