The Board

Matthew Lonergan

Founder

In my role as the founder of this amazing not for profit I work closely with the front line services to ensure that families affected by domestic violence have the practical assistance they need to safely escape and the essential resources to make their recovery sustainable. I achieve these outcomes through an amazing network of corporate donors who donate their goods and services directly to those in need.
