Vote for the Center for the Pacific Asian Family

The Center for the Pacific Asian Family (CPAF) is a Los Angeles based non-profit that provides a multi-lingual 24-hour call center, emergency shelter, transitional housing program, counseling services and community outreach programs that focus on the needs of victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

CPAF finished in the top 100 out of a half million eligible groups in the first round of the Chase Community Giving contest on Facebook. As a result, they received $25,000 and a chance to compete for a grand prize of $1 million or one of five runner-up awards of $100,000 in the final round of voting from January 15-22. The winners will be announced on January 23. Please join us in the effort to spread the word and get out the vote to help CPAF win so they may continue to better serve the community.

Any and all proceeds earned will be used by CPAF to reach beyond the API community to unify all 24-hour call centers in Los Angeles County. The badly needed funding will be used to create a sustainable joint hotline for 20 domestic violence shelters and 6 rape crisis centers. Additionally, CPAF will extend the hotline services to include online chat to make services more accessible to victims.

**Every 15 seconds a woman is beaten in the U.S.

Every two minutes someone in the U.S. is raped or sexually assaulted.

One in three women will be abused in her lifetime.

It happens too often… the silence is deafening.**

If a woman has the courage to call, we must make sure there will be someone there to listen.
