The Family Place has launched its 34th annual Partners Card fundraiser to generate vital support for survivors of family violence. Participants who purchase a $100 card receive 20% discounts at participating retailers and 10% off at restaurants through November 1.
Why it matters
The fundraiser directly finances essential shelter services, with every card purchase covering one full night of housing for a survivor. This initiative is critical as roughly one in three Texans is projected to experience family violence in their lifetime.
The organization aims to sell 20,000 cards this year, with each $100 donation funding one night of shelter. The program, which serves 40,000 individuals annually, provided 16,100 nights of shelter in 2025.
